Answer: Allometry

Explanation:

Allometry is the Study of morphological changes due to growth and development of body parts

Allometry, also called biological scaling, it is an important method for describing morphological evolution in biology, the change in organisms in relation to proportional changes in body size.

It is the relation between the size of an organism, the size of any of its parts and aspects of its physiology, morphology, and life history.

Typically, variation in body mass among individuals or species can be used to predict traits such as metabolic rate, dispersal capacity and survival probability.
