Summary Introduction

To explain: The comparison between the traditional/gradistic and evolutionary/cladistic approaches to primate classification.

Introduction: The biological diversity of primates can be depicted in two different types. The classification of primates can be done by traditional approach and cladistic approach. The primates are the best one to classify as the order of mammals. They are evolved from the ancestor lived in the trees of the tropical forest.

Summary Introduction

To describe: The morphological and genetic features that contribute to define the evolutionary (ancestral–descendant) relationships in the cladistic approach.

Summary Introduction

To describe: Whether the traditional/gradistic or evolutionary/cladistic scheme more accurately represents the similarities and differences between all members of the order Primates.

For each of the following sets of traits and descriptors, give the name of the most specific Primate taxon that possesses ALL of the given features. In other words, don't report a suborder or superfamily name if a family or even a genus is sufficient to include all primates sharing the three sets of traits. In each case, you will need to be no more specific than the taxa I have asked you to know for the final exam. 1) suspensory anatomy (full 360° rotation in shoulder) Y-5 molar pattern fist walking partial post-orbital closure dry nose: nostrils with internal moist membranes all members are nocturnal 2) 3) fused frontal bone no external tail IMI less than 100 4) brachiator anatomy bribban. 2:1:2:3 dental formula ischial callosities
What trait separates amphibians from primates on this cladogram?  What separates rabbits and primates from crocodiles on this cladogram? Which organism is most related to the bird on this cladogram? What 5 traits do these two organisms share?    Which organism will have DNA most similar to the bird?  Which organism's DNA will differ the most from the bird?
Consider the following traits: Opposable thumbs, forward-facing eyes, nails, tactile fingerpads, large brain, and protective bony eye orbits. All of these are examples of: Group of answer choices Ancestral traits of primates shared with the mammalian common ancestor. Traits lost by primates that were present the mammalian common ancestor. Derived traits of primates not present in the mammalian common ancestor. Derived traits of primates shared with the mammalian common ancestor.
