Question

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. 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 temp such that males are favored in the 26-34 degree C range. In snapping turtles, sex determination is strongly influenced by temperature, 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.

Explanation / Answer

From the given graphs, the inference which follows is that in lizards sex determination occurs by factors other than the temperature range between 20°-40°C.
