Which answer below explains Bergmann's Rule? A mammal with a smaller surface area relative to body mass is better suited for cold environments An organism with a larger body mass produces more heat and therefore is more conducive for colder environments An organism with longer extremities are more likely to live in hotter environments than cold environments When an organism has a larger surface area relative body mass they are better suited for colder environments
