One of the effects of climate change is the warming of ocean and air temperatures. The sex of sea turtle offspring is determined by temperature during development. Temperature over 87° Fahrenheit will result in female offspring. In 2-5 sentences, describe what change you'd expect to see in the distribution of traits, if any, and whether it would be caused by a genetic adaptation, a mutation, or the environment.(4 points)
Due to the warming of ocean and air temperatures caused by climate change, it is expected that there would be a shift in the distribution of traits in sea turtle offspring. This change would be driven by the temperature-dependent sex determination system of sea turtles, making it an environmental factor affecting the distribution of traits. It is not a genetic adaptation or mutation, but a direct response to the changing environment.
