The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the dental formula represented as `2123/2123`, we need to analyze the given statements and determine which one is incorrect. The dental formula indicates the arrangement of teeth in each quadrant of the mouth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dental Formula**: - The dental formula `2123/2123` indicates the number of each type of tooth in one half of the mouth. - The first number (2) represents the number of incisors. - The second number (1) represents the number of canines. - The third number (2) represents the number of premolars. - The fourth number (3) represents the number of molars. 2. **Calculating the Total Number of Teeth**: - Each side of the mouth has `2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 8` teeth. - Since there are two sides (left and right), the total number of teeth is `8 teeth/side * 4 sides = 32 teeth`. 3. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement A**: "The right upper jaw has 8 teeth." - This statement is correct because each quadrant has 8 teeth. - **Statement B**: "The given species has a total of 32 teeth." - This statement is also correct as calculated above. - **Statement C**: "The number of premolars in the lower jaw is less than the number of premolars in the upper jaw." - This statement is incorrect because the dental formula shows that the number of premolars is the same in both the upper and lower jaws (2 in each). 4. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement is **Statement C**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement about the species with the dental formula `2123/2123` is: "The number of premolars in the lower jaw is less than the number of premolars in the upper jaw." ---
