PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are breeding geckos and hoping to get a large percentage of female geckos. Your incubator has not been properly calibrated, so when you set the temperature to 78°F it is actually 83°F inside the incubator. Will this error cause you to have fewer female geckos than you would expect? Choose the best answer from the list below.
Katlee: Have you possibly forgotten to post the four possible answers that came with this question? I note that the information supplied by you up until now is not enough to enable you or me to answer the question.
No, this difference in temperature will not cause a noticeable change. No, because temperature has no effect on the gender of gecko offspring. No, because the gender of gecko offspring is completely random. Yes, this difference in temperature will cause a noticeable change.
As before: This problem statement doesn't provide enough information upon which to base a well-thought-out response. Does temperature affect whether more or fewer female geckos hatch? That's a question for your Science or Biology course. All I can suggest is that you read through each of the four answers carefully, and then, based upon what you know, eliminate the least likely ones. If that left with you with two answers from which to choose, that'd better the odds that you'll pick the correct answer. You may have to appeal to your own common sense for help in choosing the best answer here.
thankx
