first and foremost, there are two types of dentition, namely HOMODONT AND HETERODONT.

HOMODONT is a type of teeth which has the same size, shape and perform the same function. no one is specialized for a particular function examples of animal with such dentition are reptiles, fishes and amphibians.therefore the answer is lizard cos lizard is a reptile.



HETERODONT DENTITION is a type of teeth with different sizes, shape and performs different functions, every teeth has it's own specialized function. such dentition can be found in man, cattle, sheep, dog and cow.

Homodont dentition is found in the majority of vertebrates such as fish, amphibia and reptiles in which all teeth are functionally and anatomically of the same type, although their size may be variable depending on the location. Sometimes functionally some teeth may be specialized as fangs of snakes.
