Question

In turtles, eggs incubated above \(33^\circ\text{C}\) mostly develop into:

पर्याय

• Males

• Females

• Non-viable embryos

• Both sexes in roughly equal numbers

Answer 1

In turtles, temperatures above \(33^\circ\text{C}\) during incubation produce mostly females, whereas temperatures below \(28^\circ\text{C}\) produce mostly males. This is the reverse pattern seen in crocodiles, where high temperature produces males.
