Solutions

Expert Solution

6. Answer:- Monkeys when compared to lemur, lorises and galagos have all the following except:-d) post orbital bar.

Because all the monkeys are bigger in size , possess greater brain size and increase sexual dimorphism as compared to lemur, lorises and galagos. But monkey doesn't have post orbital bar but possess post orbital septum.

7.Answer:- Humans are all of the following except:-c) Strepsirrhines.

Reason:- Strepsirrhines include lemur, lorises and galagos etc. But human being are under order primate, family :- hominidae and class mammalia.

9.Answer:-The two suborder of primates are :- a) Strepsirrhines and haplorhines.

10.Answer,:- The characters that is not found in Strepsirrhines is--- b) prehensile tail.

( Strepsirrhines possess dental comb, grooming claw and tapetum lucidem)

11. Answer:- True statement is option B) Prosimii and Anthropoidea are alternative grade based classification.

Statement A false because clades show actual evolutionary relationship.

Statement C false because Tarsiers are more closely related to haplorhines than lemurs and lorises.
