  1. Molars

  2. Premolars

  3. Canines

  4. Incisors

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An adult human has 32 permanent teeth which of four types, namely incisors, canines, premolar, and molars. Such type of dentition is called heterodont dentition.

The teeth used for biting and cutting food are called as Incisors. They are small chisels shaped and have sharp edge help to bite the food.
So, the correct answer is "Incisors".

Which of the following is vestigial teeth found in human?

  1. Incisors

  2. Premolars

  3. Diphyodont

  4. Wisdom teeth

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wisdom teeth are vestigial third molars, that help human ancestors in grinding down plant tissue. The skulls of human ancestors had larger jaws with more teeth to efficiently digest the cellulose that makes up a plant cell wall. As human diets changed, smaller jaws were naturally selected, yet the third molars or wisdom teeth still develop in humans.

Wisdom teeth in human is

  1. $3^{rd}$molar and 4 in number

  2. $3^{rd}$ molar and 2 in number

  3. $2^{nd}$molar and 4 in number

  4. $2^{nd}$ molar and 2 in number

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In humans, there are 32 teeth present in which four different types of teeth are present and is known as heterodont dentition. In these four types canines,

incisors, premolar and two molars are present are the permanent teeth but and are 28 in number but the third molar appears late in life and is known as wisdom tooth which is four in number an form 32 teeth.
So the correct option is '$3^{rd}$ molar and 4 in number'.
