Question

2
Recently, scientists have gained an
understanding of a crocodile's
reproductive activity. Crocodiles mate
in the water, where the buoyancy
keeps them from crushing each other,
Prior to mating, there are stylized
postures, jumping, submerged bubble
blowing, and snout contact. After
mating, hard-shelled eggs are laid in a
nest, in a hole scooped in the sand.
When it is time to hatch, the infant
crocodiles begin a loud chirping sound
that leads the female to the nest,
which she excavates. Finally, when all
the babies are accounted for the
mother crocodile, transports them to
the shallow water where they will
remain under adult protection for
weeks or months.

Ask
1)What type is it?
2) What is purposes?
3)What is signal words?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Hole nesters, 2. Incubation, 3. Hatching calls..

Explanation:

Type of reproduction:

• Crocodilians are either hole nesters or mound nesters. That is, they either dig a hole in the sand and bury their eggs there, or they build a mound out of vegetation and place their eggs in the centre of it.
• In the statement, the type is hole hole nesters.

Purpose of nesting:

• The rate at which embryos develop is mostly determined by temperature, but it is also affected by the gaseous (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and moisture environment within the nest.
• At lower temperatures, incubation takes much longer, while at higher temperatures, it takes much less time.
• For all crocodiles, the ideal incubation temperature is between 31 and 33°C.

Signal words:

• Females excavate nests in response to hatchling calls and may bring freshly fledged offspring down to the water with their mouths.
• The hatchlings form a "crèche" or "pod," and the female may stay with it for several months.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Type: Sequence, factual, expository text.

2) Purpose: Describes or presents a statement, event, or item in chronological order, and/or lists methods or steps in performing a task.

The goal of this lesson is to tell you about crocodilians, their lives, and reproductive processes. Expository writings are written with the intention of informing you about the facts about something, in this case, crocodiles.

3) Signal words: They're there to help you figure out what words go together (for example, addition or contrast).

Signal words included in the paragraph are recently, where, prior to, after, in, that, finally, for and so on.
