Question

Assertion (A): In reptiles, the temperature at which the fertilized eggs are kept decides the sex of the offsprings.

Reason (R): Sex is not genetically determined in some animals.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
