The most distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is a Y-5 molar pattern.

<h3>What is the Y-5 molar pattern?</h3>
  • This is a distinctive type of molar teeth pattern found in apes and hominoids.
  • In this, 5 cusps or raised surfaces are present on the grinding surface of teeth, roughly forming a Y- shape. Therefore, this is also known as Y-5 pattern.
  • Whereas Old world monkeys have only 4 cusps on their lower molars present in a bilophodont pattern.
  • A Y-5 molar is formed when the tooth is divided into different pieces which form the complete structure of the tooth.
  • In bilophodont pattern the tooth is divided into 2 symmetric sections.
  • The dental formula of apes is 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 i.e. 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars.

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied.

goblinko [34]
Those are glucose, oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2).
<span>Respiration and photosynthesis are opposite processes in the plant cell. Photosynthesis makes the glucose and releases oxygen and they are used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is broken down during the respiration into CO2, which is used in photosynthesis. While H2O is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form H2O. </span>
