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. Part A 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 such that males are favored in the 26-34 degree C range. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures, but there is no range of temperature that favors females. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures such that females are favored in the 26-34 degree C range. Lizards appear to have their sex determined by factors other than temperature in the 20-40 degree C range.

Solution

From the first graph a correct options are:

1.In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures such that males are favored in the 26-34 deg C range.

In this range the chance of male is 100% at 30 deg temperature.

2. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperatures, but there is no range of temperature that favors female.

In the graph there is no description about the temperature which favored female.

From the second graph correct option is:

4. Lizard appear to have their sex determined by factors other than temperature in the 20-40 deg range.

In the lizard sex determination do not depend on temperature. It is free from temperature.
