Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lemuriforms, including lemurs, typically have a dental comb and a grooming claw, characteristics A and B. Their eye sockets are not completely enclosed in bone, and they generally have a smaller brain size relative to body size, characteristics C and E. However, the fusion of the two sides of the mandible to form one bone, characteristic D, is not a general characteristic of lemuriforms; it is more commonly associated with anthropoid primates (monkeys, apes, and humans).
