1)According to Kleiber's law, species with large body size has a lower metabolic rate,respiratory rate,heart rate etc when compared with species with small  body size, therefore the frog organ becomes proportionately smaller in larger individuals and the rat organ becomes proportionately smaller in larger individuals.

2)Hyperallometric is when the body of the organism is small but organs grow big therefore growth of the organ of interest is hyperallometric.

3)Hypoallometric is when the body of the organism is big but the organs are small therefore the growth of the organ of interest is hypoallometric.
