Question

Define heterodont dentition.

Answer 1

Answer-

✔️A heterodont (from Greek, meaning "different teeth") is an animal which possesses more than a single tooth morphology.

✔️For example, members of the Synapsida generally possess incisors, canines ("eyeteeth"), premolars, and molars.

✔️The presence of heterodont dentition is evidence of some degree of feeding and or hunting specialization in a species.

✔️In contrast, homodont dentition refers to a set of teeth that possess the same tooth morphology.

✔️In invertebrates, the term heterodont refers to a condition where teeth of differing sizes occur in the hinge plate, a part of the Bivalvia.

✔️ In vertebrates, however, heterodont pertains to animals where teeth are differentiated into different forms such as incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
