The correct option is 'smaller than either an African or Asian elephant'.
The small sized ears of the mammoth were adaptation to the cold environment. This adaptation help them to prevent from frostbite and decrease heat loss from the body.
Regarding ear size, which would you predict would be true for an Ice age woolly mammoth?...

Melting sea ice can increase the albedo of the earth, causing a net cooling. a) Global sea level has been more or less stable for the last 6,000 years, but has been rising b) in recent times. c) Sea level rise is mostly due to the thermal expansion of water as it is heated. d) Choices A and B are true. e) Choices B and C are true....
Which of the following is (are) true regarding children's physical development (choose all that apply) a) It is a discontinuous process (so that most of the time, one cannot predict from early to later ages) b) It is a continuous process (so that you can easily predict from one time to the next) c) A child's motor development depends on his or her physical development d) Girls are often taller than boys until about age 9 when the trend reverses...
You are interested in cell size regulation and discover that signaling through a GPCR is important in controlling cell size in rat white blood cells. The G protein downstream of this receptor activates adenylyl cyclase, which ultimately leads to the activation of PKA. You find that cells that lack the GPCR are 15% smaller than normal cells, whereas cells that express a mutant, constitutively activated version of PKA are 15% larger than normal cells. Furthermore, the normal blood cells become...
Russell enters puberty 5 years later than average age. What effect would you predict this will have on his height? Explain.
Which would you predict to have the larger (more negative) heat of combustion: A. methylcyclobutane or B. cyclopentane Which would you predict to be the more stable molecule A. methylcyclobutane or B. cyclopentane
1111/2112 16) The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) has very sizable ears with large blood vessels flowing through them, as well as long columnar legs, while the wooly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), has very small ears and shorter thicker I than African elephants. Mammoths, however, weigh about twi account for these significant differences in ear and limb size between these two pachyderms? egs ice as much as the largest African elephants. What might A) The African elephant lives in hotter climates while...
The average age at which adolescent girls reach their adult height is 16 years. Suppose you have a sample of 29 adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed, and who have an average age at which they reached their adult height of 17.8 years and a sample variance of 77.4 years. You want to test the hypothesis that adolescent girls who are developmentally delayed have a different age at which they reached their adult height than all adolescent girls. Calculate the...
If a eukaryotic organism did not have a functional telomerase, what would you predict to be true about this organism? a reduction in chromosome length in reproductive cells (gametes) production of a larger number of Okazaki fragments than eukaryotes that possess telomerase high sensitivity to sunlight inability to correct DNA mutations a high probability of somatic cells becoming cancerous
