A. Clades are groupings that reflect levels of adaptation or overall similarity and not necessarily actual evolutionary relationships.
B. Prosimii and Anthropoidea are an alternative grade-based classification
C. Genetic evidence suggests that Tarsiers are more closely related to Lemurs and Lorises than they are to haplorhines

B. Setting aside natural preserves for endangered species
C. Sanctuaries for orphaned primates

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.
