A mutation is any change in the number or structure of a chromosome. The image you see here shows damaged DNA. There are several possible causes of mutations, such as radiation damage or chemical exposure. Sometimes, segments or entire chromosomes are deleted and not passed on to the new cell. Other times, the patterns are mixed up or made backwards. All of these mutations cause changes in normal patterns and result in new chromosome formations.

Ugo [173]

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.
