Question

How is the sex of a newborn individual is determined in a few reptiles (like turtles)? 1M

Answer 1

Answer:

This thermosensitive period occurs after the egg has been laid, so sex determination in these reptiles is at the mercy of the ambient conditions affecting egg clutches in nests. For example, in many turtle species, eggs from cooler nests hatch as all males, and eggs from warmer nests hatch as all females.
