Explanation / Answer

41) Anthropometry deals with the physical measurements of the human body. It deals with the measurement of size, weight and human proportion of an individual. It is widely used to study archaelogical remains. This branch is often referred to as paleoanthropology, and is used to study origins of human evolution, using fossil remains. The anthropometric dimensions also aid in the development of equipments and facilities for human use. It is of great importance in the field of ergonomics, where the work space and furnishings, etc is designed according to the physical dimensions of the human body, tso as to improve his/her performance without injuring bodily structures. Anthropometry is also used to study living populations. It can be used to ascertain the nutritional status of a population or even in the prognosis of certain chronic or acute illnesses. Therefore, the correct choice for this question would be all of the above or option (d).

42) Forensic Anthropology is that branch of anthropology that utilizes skeletal remains to determine the age, sex, and other medical factors so as to construct a biological profile which would help solving criminal cases. Therefore this is the correct choice for this question. Therefore, the correct choice to this question is option (b).

68) Prosimians, which literally means pre-monkey, belong to the order of Primates. They largely include lemurs, lorises, tarsiers and galagos. Prosimians have flattened nails instead of curved claws. They have unfused mandibular symphysis and frontal bones which join with the zygomatic bone to form the post-orbital bar. Also, prosimians have opposable toes which helps them grasp food, etc. Although, prosimians are the only primates which do not have enclosed eye orbits. Therefore, the correct choice for this question is option (b).

69) The ancestral pattern for mammals is five digits, which is also called pentadactyly. All mammals except for sloths have 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck. The first cervical vertebra is the axis, which articulates with the second cervical vertebra posteriorly, namely; atlas.

70) Predators and prey are extremely important for a healthy ecosystem. As they help to maintain a healthy balance in nature. Predators, form the top of the food chain and are often referred to as apex predators. They help in the regulation of the food web by keeping the number of prey species in check. The predators help maintain the population of prey by killing and consuming old, weak and slow and vulnerable prey. By doing this, they also leave more food for the survival of other healthy prey. They are present from the Ordovician period. Thus the correct answer choice is option (e).
