Shown below are two graphs that plot the percentage of fertilized eggs containing males against the atmospheric temperature during early development in (a) snapping turtles and (b) most lizards. Which of the following statements are consistent with the data presented? Select all that apply. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures, but there is no range of temperature that favors females. Lizards appear to have their sex determined by factors other than temperature in the 20-40 degree C range. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures such that males are favored in the 26-34 degree C range. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures such that females are favored in the 26-34 degree C range.
Solution
In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures such that females are favoured in the 26-34 deg C range.
