Vedclass · Answer

(D) The dental formula represents the number of teeth in half of the upper and lower jaws.For a rabbit,the dental formula is $\frac{2,0,3,3}{1,0,2,3}$.This means in one half of the jaw,there are $2$ incisors,$0$ canines,$3$ premolars,and $3$ molars in the upper jaw,and $1$ incisor,$0$ canines,$2$ premolars,and $3$ molars in the lower jaw.Multiplying by $2$ for both sides of the jaw gives: $\frac{2+0+3+3}{1+0+2+3} 	imes 2 = \frac{8}{6} 	imes 2 = 16 + 12 = 28$ teeth in total.Therefore,the correct option is $D$.
