Question

Transcribed Image Text:Which of the following statements is true when it comes to using skeletal remains to
determine the biological sex of the individual?
O identifying the sex of skeletal remains is easy and 100 certain that a skeleton is either male
or female
O Modern scientists now label more skeleton remains as indeterminate" which reflects the
variability and overlap in features between the sexes, but still suggests a binary mindset
O The finding that there are about 12% more male skeletons than female skeletons at
archeological sites reflects the likelihood of skeleton preservation rather than bias and
assumptions in assigning sex to skeletal remains
O While other parts of the skeleton are less clear, pelvis ac blades that flare are clear
indications the skeleton was of a female.

You must show all yourcalculations to receive credit.Scenario #1Easter Island is a small island in the southern Pacific Ocean. It lies approximately 3,500 kilometers east ofChile and is considered one of the most remote islands. It is also a volcanic island. In 2025, Easter Islandhad a population of 16,000. However, many of the island’s residents were killed during a series of volcaniceruptions that occurred in the year 2065.Of the original population, only 200 people survived. It is now 100 years later, and the population of EasterIsland has reached 800. Of the current population, 328 people are homozygous…arrow_forward
