$\frac{1003}{1003}$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The dental formula represents the number of teeth in one-half of the upper and lower jaws. For a rat,the dental formula is $\frac{1003}{1003}$. This means in each half of the jaw,there is $1$ incisor,$0$ canines,$0$ premolars,and $3$ molars. Total teeth = $(1+0+0+3) 	imes 2 	ext{ (for both sides)} 	imes 2 	ext{ (for upper and lower jaws)} = 4 	imes 4 = 16$ teeth.
