Question

at which of the following temperatures will 19% of leopard gecko hatchlings likely develop as male? choose 1 answer: a 29°c b 30°c c 31°c d 32°c

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

The graph shows the percentage of male leopard gecko hatchlings at different temperatures. We need to find the temperature where the percentage is around 19%.

Step2: Check each option

• Option A: At 29°C, looking at the graph, the percentage of male hatchlings is around 19% (since between 28°C and 30°C, the percentage increases from 0 to around 25 - 30%, so 29°C would be close to 19%).
• Option B: At 30°C, the percentage is around 25 - 30%, higher than 19%.
• Option C: At 31°C, the percentage is increasing further, higher than 19%.
• Option D: At 32°C, the percentage is much higher, close to 70 - 80%.

Answer:

A. 29°C
