Vedclass · Answer

(B) The dental formula represents the arrangement of teeth in one half of each jaw,in the order of Incisors $(I)$,Canines $(C)$,Premolars $(PM)$,and Molars $(M)$.For an adult human,the dental formula is $\frac{2123}{2123}$.This means in each half of the upper and lower jaw,there are $2$ Incisors,$1$ Canine,$2$ Premolars,and $3$ Molars.Total number of teeth = $2 	imes (2+1+2+3) = 2 	imes 8 = 16$ per jaw,resulting in $32$ teeth in total.
