Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual dimorphism refers to the physical differences between males and females of a species. In humans, males typically have larger and more robust bone structure, while females have a more gracile bone structure with wider pelvic bones to accommodate childbirth. This dimorphism allows us to identify the sex of a skeleton through analysis of bone structure. The other choices are not relevant to this topic - A refers to reproductive roles, which are not necessarily sex-specific; C refers to bisexuality in terms of sexual orientation, which is not relevant to skeletal identification of sex; and D refers to gender identity, which is a psychological and sociological construct that cannot necessarily be determined by physical attributes like bone structure.
