Question

Find out the false one.

• A. Mammals from colder climate generally have larger ears and limbs to minimise heat loss
• B. Some organisms have behavioural adaptations that allow them to respond quickly to a stressful situation
• C. Some organisms possess adaptations that are physiological which allow them to respond quickly to a stressful situation
• D. A large variety of invertebrates and fish live at great depths in the ocean where the pressure could be > 100

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mammals from colder climate generally have larger ears and limbs to minimise heat loss

Animals in colder climates generally have shorter ears and limbs. This is known as Allen's rule. It is a mechanism to conserve heat by checking heat loss from the body. Heat gain can be maximized and heat loss can be minimized by decreasing the surface area to volume ratio of body.
