The specialized functions may not be performed by the teeth.

Explanation:

The 32 teeth in an adult are of different shape and size because they play a different role in the chewing process of food. There are following kinds of teeth depending upon their shape and size.

  • 8 incisors: The eight incisors are responsible for biting and cutting of food.
  • 4 canines: These are pointed and sharp. These help in gripping and tearing of food.
  • 8 premolars and 8-12 molars: These are useful in crushing and grinding of food.

If all the 32 teeth of the adult are of same shape they may not be able to perform the specialized functions like cutting, tearing and grinding of food.
