*WAEC BIOLOGY THEORY ANSWERS*

*NUMBER (2b)*

Difference between dentition of Herbivores and Carnivores

a) *INCISORS*

*Herbivores:* The incisors of herbivores are sharp and are used mainly to cut, gnaw and bite

*Carnivores:* The incisors of carnivores are pointed teeth and are used to catch prey

b) *MOLARS AND PREMOLARS*

*Herbivores:* Molars and premolars of herbivores have flat grinding surfaces, and they grow continuously throughout their lifetime.

*Carnivores:* Premolars and molars of carnivores are flattened with uneven edges and are used to shear the flesh of prey into smaller pieces. They do not grow continuously throughout life.

c) *CANINES*

*Herbivores:* Ruminants have canines that are similar to incisors. Gnawing herbivores do not have canines.

*Carnivores:* Canines of carnivores are long, pointed canines are used to catch, kill their prey and tear the flesh of prey.(2c)

Milk teeth: is a temporary tooth of a young mammal especially one of the human dentition including four incisors, two canines, and four molars in each jaw which fall out during childhood and are replaced by the permanent teeth.
