Vertical Clinging and Leaping = 60 Arboreal Quadrupedalism = 80 Terrestrial Quadrupedalism = 90 Brachiation = 140 Knuckle-walking = 110 Bipedalism = 70C. Vertical Clinging and Leaping = 80 Arboreal Quadrupedalism = 140 Terrestrial Quadrupedalism = 90 Brachiation = 110 Knuckle-walking = 70 Bipedalism = 60 D. Vertical Clinging and Leaping = 140 Arboreal Quadrupedalism = 80 Terrestrial Quadrupedalism = 60 Brachiation = 90 Knuckle-walking = 80 Bipedalism = 110

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Vertical Clinging and Leaping = 60

Arboreal Quadrupedalism = 80

Terrestrial Quadrupedalism = 90

Brachiation = 140

Knuckle-walking = 110

Bipedalism = 70

Explanation:

The intermembral index is a method for evaluating the primary locomotor strategy of an early primate by its fossil skeleton.

The vertical Clinging and Leaping are used by strepsirrhines and tarsiers who keep a vertical position while moving from tree to tree and has an intermembral index of around 60.

The arboreal quadrupedalism is the most common locomotor strategy and has an intermembral index of around 80.

Terrestrial Quadrupedalism refers to longer limbs that help running to be faster and has an intermembral index of around 90.

Brachiation is a type of suspensory behavior and has an intermembral index of around 140.

Knuckle-walking is used by large apes and has an intermembral index of around 110.

Bipedalism has an intermembral index of around 70.
