Final answer:
The correct statement is a plane suture such as the squamous suture between the temporal and parietal bones. Serrate sutures are characterized by interlocking wavy lines found in major skull sutures.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct statement regarding the three types of sutures is that an example of a plane suture is the squamous suture between the temporal and parietal bones. Lap sutures (also known as squamous sutures) occur where two bones have overlapping beveled edges, such as the squamous suture that unites the squamous portion of the temporal bone with the parietal bone. Serrate sutures are characterized by interlocking wavy lines, and can be seen in the coronal, sagittal, and lambdoid sutures of the skull, which are tightly interlocked to add strength for brain protection. The statement about serrate sutures between the palatine processes of the maxillae is incorrect as the suture here is actually a median palatine suture and would not typically be classified as serrate.
