Question 1 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Which adaptation makes bipedalism possible?

Answer
A
opposable digits
B
large brain
C
foramen magnum in back of skull
D
pelvis rotated inward

Explanation

A pelvis rotated inward helps support the body’s weight over the legs and stabilizes the body while walking upright. This makes bipedalism possible. Opposable digits and a large brain do not provide this support, and a foramen magnum at the back of the skull is associated with a more horizontal posture.
