Question

Tabulate the differences between skulls A and B with respect to the shape of the teeth and types of food consumed

Answer 1

Answer:

Omnivores, such as raccoons, opossums, bears, and humans, are animals that consume both plant and animal material. Accordingly, omnivores have dentition, skulls, and teeth suitable for handling a variety of foods. Most omnivores have evolved different types of teeth, located in different parts of their mouths. In such scenarios, each type of tooth excels at handling a different type of food. For example, humans use their incisors and canines for ripping and cutting, and their molars and premolars for grinding. Biologists describe animals with such teeth as having heterodont dentition.
