Question

In Rabbit and Hare, the incisors of upper and lower jaw halves are

• A. 1 / 1
• B. 2 / 1
• C. 2 / 2
• D. 2 / 0

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 / 1

The incisors and cheek teeth of rabbits are called aradicular hypsodont teeth. This is sometimes referred to as an elodent dentition. These teeth grow or erupt continuously. The growth or eruption is held in balance by dental abrasion from chewing a diet high in fibre. The anatomic dental formula is 2( i2/1 c0/0 m3/2 )= 16 deciduous teeth.

So, the correct option is '2/1'.
