| 1. | Incubation temperatures generally range from 26-32 �C ( 79-90 �F ).
|
| 2. | At 26-29 �C incubation temperature the eggs hatched after 61 days.
|
| 3. | Sex of the hatchlings is not determined by incubation temperature.
|
| 4. | Incubation temperatures less than 88 �F ( 31 �C ) resulted in all-male clutches.
|
| 5. | Techniques can also be used to minimize DNA degradation, such as cycling the incubation temperature.
|
| 6. | Some reptiles use incubation temperatures to determine sex.
|
| 7. | An incubation temperature of 30 �C results in an equal ratio of male to female hatchlings.
|
| 8. | The sex of red-eared sliders is determined by the incubation temperature during critical phases of the embryos'development.
|
| 9. | Several species of reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination, where incubation temperature of eggs determines the sex of the individual.
|
| 10. | Such incubation temperatures are not allowed in schools, but even at the permitted maximum of 25oC, K-12 still grows well.
