Analisa and Mateo, two research anthropologists interested in deciphering the relatedness between four extinct primates, were studying the similarities and differences among a number of measurements of the complex structures of the jaw fragments they collected, as well as making many other morphological contrasts between other fossilized bones from dozens of collected specimens. In the lab, they noticed the lengths of the bones of the leg, particularly the femur, tibia, and fibula, were very different in all the specimens, whereas the jaw structures were nearly identical among the specimens. What should they tentatively conclude based on this evidence

The group of choices associated with the question is as follows:

A)The four primates likely share a close common ancestor or could potentially be the same species based upon the jaw measurements.

B)The hominids with the most closely matching leg bone measurements are likely more closely related than the others, due to the importance of locomotion as an evolutionary adaptation.

C)The femur measurements are not important.

D)Because the measurements of the leg bones vary widely, it is probable that the four species are from different genera.

The correct answer is - The four primates likely share a close common ancestor or could potentially be the same species based upon the jaw measurements.

Explanation:

On the basis of the research, it is found that the four primates have similar jaw structure and measurement and have a distinct length of bones of the leg.

The given research and founding suggests that all four primates most likely share a close common ancestor or diverge from the same species based on her jaw measurements.

answer: land bridge theory. land bridge theory held that shifting portions of dry land explained the finding of identical species on different continents. plate tectonic theory eventually eliminated the land bridge theory.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
