Mel and Carl conducted an experiment to verify their hypothesis that male eggs of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis only hatch at low temperatures. They conducted an experiment and their results were tabulated in the data table. Mel and Carl concluded very high temperatures killed unhatched alligators. What comment(s) would you make to Mel and Carl regarding their conclusions?

Question 1 options:

They could say that as temperatures increase, more eggs die; an appropriate conclusion based on the data is that temperature really has no effect on gender.

They could amend their conclusion and say that the higher temperatures result in more alligators dying and that the gender of hatchlings is incubation-temperature dependent.

Their conclusion is correct. Nothing should be added or deleted.

Although they are correct, more eggs die at higher temperatures, but only males hatch at low temperatures and females only hatch at high temperatures.

Sea levels are rising due to climate change while increasing numbers of people are moving into coastal areas. to accommodate more people, there has been increased construction of beachfront resorts and condominiums. how is this impacting sea turtle numbers and biodiversity and why? a. the increased human population in coastal areas has meant that more food is available to the turtles (e. g., dropped food, waste from restaurants), which has led to an increase in the numbers and diversity of sea turtles. b. there has been very little change in the numbers and biodiversity of sea turtles because the planet is so vast that they can simply relocate to less crowded beaches. c. this has resulted in a decrease in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because it is restricting available nesting sites, and hence reproduction. d. this has resulted in an increase in numbers and diversity of sea turtles because people are around to protect them from natural predators.
