Question
Shylesh has some pet animals at his home. He has few rabbits too, one day while feeding them he observed something different with the teeth. He asked his grandfather, why is it so? What would have been the explanation of his grandfather?
Short Note
Solution
The explanation of the grandfather would have been as follows: Teeth are hard bone-like structures, used to cut, tear and grind the food. There are incisors, canines, premolars, and molars teeth are seen. Canines are absent. Something different from the teeth is the gap between incisors and premolar, which is called Diastema. It helps in mastication and chewing the food.
