You are looking at an artist's reconstruction of the fossil species Carpolestes simpsoni, which belongs to a group of animals th

ought to be an ancestor to modern primates, called plesiadapiforms. Plesiadapiforms lack most of the morphological variation characteristic of modern primates. However, C. simpsoni had an opposable big toe with a flat nail instead of the claws present on its other digits. Its hands and feet were well adapted for grasping and moving around on small branches, but they lacked the foot structure associated with leaping. Its eyes were located on the sides of the head and it did not have binocular vision. The dentition of C. simpsoni suggests that it probably ate fruit. Given this recent plesiadapiform fossil discovery, which of the following hypotheses is most consistent with the evolution of primates?
A) Grasping hands and feet with flat nails instead of claws all evolved together to facilitate leaping from branch to branch.
B) Binocular stereoscopic vision, grasping hands and feet, and nails on the toes and fingers all co-evolved to enhance visual predation on insects in the terminal branches of trees.
C) Grasping hands and feet allowed early primates to exploit fruit, flowers, and nectar in the terminal branches of angiosperms. Later, binocular stereoscopic vision evolved as an adaptation to predation on insects.
D) Binocular stereoscopic vision and grasping hands and feet evolved together as adaptations for exploiting new food sources in angiosperms.

Answer:

B) Binocular stereoscopic vision, grasping hands and feet, and nails on the toes and fingers all co-evolved to enhance visual predation on insects in the terminal branches of trees.

Explanation:

A characteristic of the primates, when they evolved was the replacement of the claws by ones, the binocular vision, which generated these two characteristics the option to see and take better the insects and fruit in high branches

Image 1.1 -

Stomata are little moth-like structures in leaves, that, when open, allow the exchange of gases between the plant and the exterior.

Answer:

B.

Image 1.2 -

Without the existance of stomata, the process of transpiration wouldn't be possible if there weren't structures thata allowed the exchange of gases.

Answer:

A.

Image 2 -

So, we can elminate plants because they can photosynthesise; bacteria because they are prokaryotes and can photosynthesise; archaea because they are prokaryotes; hat leaves us with animals and fungi because these cannot photosynthesise and are both eukaryotes.

But, we cannot skip information. It is also said that the organism found has a cell wall, and animals do not have cell walls.

Answer:

C.

Image 4 -

Option 1 = cilia

Option 2 = flagella

Option 3 = pseudopods

Option 4 = pili (they're a meant to attacht to surfaces only bacteria)

Image 5 -

Runner stems are those that grow horizontally, therefore the fourth image with the long horizontal stems.

Rhizome stems are underground stems that can form roots or shoots through their nodes. Therefore, the third image with white background (the one with 2 drawn plants).

Tuber stems are large underground (mostly) structures used as storages for the plant. Therefore, this corresponds to the first image (the one with the white background.

Bulb stems are short and "bulby" stems, whith thick, leaves. Therefore, the second image (the one with the grass background).

Hope it helped,
