Question

In turtles, eggs incubated below \(28^\circ\text{C}\) develop mostly into:

Options

• Males

• Intersexes

• Both sexes in roughly equal numbers

• Females

Answer 1

In turtles, the incubation temperature thresholds are specific: below \(28^\circ\text{C}\) mostly males develop, above \(33^\circ\text{C}\) mostly females develop, and between \(28\text{--}33^\circ\text{C}\) both sexes appear in roughly equal numbers.
