Q. Which statement explains the concept of Allen’s rule?

Organisms and Populations

Solution:

Allen's rule states that the limbs, ears, and other appendages of the animals living in cold climates tend to be shorter than in animals of the same species living in warm climates. Shorter and more compact body parts have less surface area than elongated ones and thus radiate less body heat.
