Multiple Choice
Based on a graph comparing primate brain size to body size, which conclusion is most accurate?
A
Primates generally have larger brains relative to their body size compared to other mammals.
B
There is no relationship between brain size and body size in primates.
C
All primates have the same brain-to-body size ratio.
D
Primate brain size decreases as body size increases.
Verified step by step guidance
1
Examine the graph provided in the problem. Identify the relationship between brain size and body size for primates by observing the trend or pattern in the data points.
Compare the trend for primates to the trend for other mammals, if available. Look for differences in the slope or clustering of data points that indicate relative brain size differences.
Evaluate whether the graph shows a positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation between brain size and body size for primates. This will help determine the nature of the relationship.
Consider whether the graph supports the idea that primates generally have larger brains relative to their body size compared to other mammals. Look for evidence such as primates being above the trend line for other mammals.
Rule out incorrect conclusions by checking if the graph contradicts statements like 'no relationship,' 'all primates have the same ratio,' or 'brain size decreases as body size increases.' Focus on the most accurate conclusion supported by the graph.
