Final answer:
Lemurs and lorises are indeed part of the suborder Strepsirrhini, but tarsiers are classified under the suborder Haplorrhini. Therefore, the correct answer to whether lemurs, lorises and tarsiers would be placed in the suborder Strepsirhini is B.False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The classification of primates into different suborders categorizes lemurs and lorises into the suborder Strepsirrhini, which is correct. However, the statement that tarsiers belong to the Strepsirrhini is false. Tarsiers are classified under the suborder Haplorrhini. The Strepsirrhini, or strepsirrhines, are often referred to as prosimians and exhibit distinct traits including a grooming claw and a dental adaptation known as the toothcomb. This suborder primarily contains species found in the Old World, such as Africa and Asia, with several groups endemic to Madagascar.
On the other hand, the suborder Haplorrhini includes tarsiers, New World monkeys, Old World monkeys, apes, and humans. These primates tend to have drier noses, are generally larger, have larger brains, and most of them are diurnal with a greater reliance on vision compared to olfaction.
