Animals’ teeth are a perfect example of structure and function in nature. explain this statement and give at least 2 specific examples about different types of teeth and how their structure is related to their function:

The structure (shape and number) of an animal’s teeth vary according to what food they consume.

For example, molars- flat teeth at the back of the mouth are very different among different types of animals:

•Herbivores (eat plants) have strong and flat molars ,

•Carnivores (eat meat) have  limited number of molars,

•Omnivores (eat combine food) have molars for grinding.

On the other hand canine teeth are small or sometimes don’t even exist in herbivores are very defined and sharp in carnivores.

they fuse to form they have half as many chromosomes as a somatic cell of the same individual. b
