Answer: large brain relative to body size

Explanation:

Primates are the vertebrates which posses large brain size as compared to the body size. This is the common feature in all the primates. Their are four major themes for the large brain size. These includes

Genetic explanation: The primates have large brain size because a gene mutation caused their brain size large.

Developmental explanation: The primates have large brain size because the extended duration of prenatal investment cause them to grow large brain size. One more reason is that they have long gestation period.

Ecological explanation: The primates have evolved the large brain size to cope up with the demanding environmental conditions.

Social explanation: The primates follow a group lead by a leader this shows the social status of the primates influenced by their thinking.

Large brain relative to body size is the most common feature of primates.

Further Explanation:

Primates are an extremely diverse group of between one ninety and three hundred fifty living species, that are depends on different taxonomic level. They have various characteristic features that help in differentiate from other mammals. Examples of primates are monkey, apes etc. Humans share vary similar traits with the other primates.

The major features of primates are:

Four limbs

Collar bones

High degree of movement in their shoulders.

Forward facing eyes.

Relatively dexterous hands

Intelligence level is very high.

Brain is larger than their body.

Less number of teeth than mammals.

All the primate species possess adapted to tree climbing, because they are the ancestor of f tree-dwellers. Some other characteristics of primates are that they have claws that are modified into flattened nails, able to hold body in upright position, and produced one offspring per pregnancy.

The causative agent for malaria is a type of? a. rickettsial agent. b. protozoa. c. bacterium. d. prion. e. virus.

irinina [24]

b. protozoa

One of the four species of protozoan in the genus Plasmodium is responsible for the acute or subacute infectious disease known as malaria.

<h3>A virus or a bacteria causes malaria?</h3>

A virus or bacteria cannot cause malaria.
Plasmodium, a parasite that often spreads through infected mosquitoes, is what causes malaria.
A mosquito consumes Plasmodia that are present in blood when it feeds on an infected human.

<h3>How do protozoa cause malaria?</h3>

The female anopheles mosquito bite is the primary method of transmission of malaria, a protozoan infection of the red blood cells.
The Plasmodium genus of protozoa is what causes malaria.
Four different types of malaria parasites can infect people: Plasmodium malariae, vivax, ovale, and falciparum

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?

wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!

A hypothetical population of monkeys consists of two or more phenotypically different groups who extensively interbreed with one

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, sympatric speciation.

Explanation:

Speciation, which takes place when two groups of similar species live in a similar geographical location, however, they evolve distinctly unless and until they no longer interbreed and are regarded as different species is termed as sympatric speciation.

Sympatric speciation is not similar to other kinds of speciation, in which the formation of a new species takes place when a population gets differentiated into two groups because of migration or geographic barrier. The sympatric speciation can be witnessed in various distinct kinds of species. Thus, the given case of monkeys is an illustration of sympatric speciation.
