| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a fistlike grip where the fingers and thumb wrap around in opposite directions? | Power Grip |
| What is it when fingers and thumb come together enabling fine manipulation? | Precision Grip |
| An organisms use of a feature unrelated to the feature's original function | Preadaptation |
| Most Primitive Primates? | Prosimians |
| What are the higher primates (new and Old world monkey?) | Anthropoids |
| Round nostrils separated by soft tissue | Platyrrhine |
| Close together nostrils and point downward | Catarrhine |
| Narrow face, sitting pad, long trunk, and non-prehensile tail | Colobines, and Cercopithecines |
| Africa and Asia Polygnous, Medium-sized, long tail, specialized stomachs | Colobines |
| Polygynous | 1 Male |
| Polyandrous | 1 Female |
| Low competition | Multimale-Multifemale |
| Usually temporary groups | All-Male |
| Monogamous | 1 Male, 1 Female |
| Interactions Occurs only to mate | Solitary |
| Laterally Placed eyes, grooming claw, tooth comb, nocturnal, have a tail, Madagascar | Lemurs |
| All nocturnal, Noyau, small or absent tail, most widespread prosimians, Africa | Lorises |
| Small, nocturnal, carnivores, Long hairless tail with a tuff at the end, leapers, South East Asia | Tarsiers |
| Diurnal, prehensile tail, arboreal quadrupeds, New world monkey, all Central and South America | Atelidae |
| Smallest monkey, Non prehensile tail, most primitive, twinning, monogamy, males care for offspring Central and South America | Cebidae |
| Asian and African monkeys, polygnous, non-prehensile tail, arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds | Cercopithecinae |

| Cultural and biological variations are inherited in the same way | Biological determinism |
| Gradual change in the frequency of a trait in populations dispersed over geological space | Cline |
| Characteristics with different phenotypic expressions | Polymorphism |
| Multiple alleles present in a population due to stabilizing selection | Balanced Polymorphism |
| Body size tends to be greater in colder climates, as mass increases surface area decreases proportionately | Bergmann's Rule |
| Shorter appendages with high mass-to surface rations are adaptive in the cold. | Allen's Rule |
| What is the bias in the fossil record | Only some organisms are fossilized, fewer are found, may not be a proper erosional environment |
