Question

Dental formula of rabbit is

• A. $\frac{2}{1} \frac{0}{0} \frac{3}{2} \frac{3}{3}$
• B. $\frac{2}{1} \frac{1}{0} \frac{3}{2} \frac{3}{3}$
• C. $\frac{2}{1} \frac{0}{0} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{1} \frac{3}{2} \frac{0}{0} \frac{3}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Dental formula of rabbit is $i \frac{2}{1}, c \frac{0}{0}, pm \frac{3}{2}, m \frac{3}{3}$ The letters $i , c, pm$ and $m$ refer to the incisors, canines, premolars and molars respectively. The figures above and below the lines show the number of teeth in half of the upper and lower jaws. The formula, thus, gives half of the total number of teeth. Rabbits do not have canines.
