– Temperature of the air.
– Body mass of the turtle.
– Body temperature of the turtle.
– A turtle that was bred and/or hatched in captivity. (Also sometimes abbreviated as CBB.)
– Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
– The length of the carapace of a turtle measured on the curved dome of the carapace.
– Temperature of the ambient environment.
– Sex of the turtle is determined by genetics, not temperature.
– The period of time for which an egg is incubated.
– The temperature at which an egg is incubated.
– A turtle that was originally taken from the wild, but has been in captivity for a minimum of 12 months.
– The DNA located in organelles called mitochondria, structures within eukaryotic cells that convert the chemical energy from food into a form that cells can use, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Most other DNA present in eukaryotic organisms is found in the cell nucleus.
– DNA contained within a nucleus of eukaryotic organisms. In mammals and other vertebrates, nuclear DNA encodes more of the genome than the mitochondrial DNA and is composed of information inherited from two parents, one male, and one female, rather than matrilineally.
– The length of the plastron of a turtle on its longest line.
-The length of the carapace of a turtle measured on its longest straight line, as if it were flat.
– Sex of the turtle is based on the temperature it is incubated at. There are 3 types of TSD.
– Sex of the turtle is determined by the temperature it is incubated at. Type 1a has one transition zone and one pivotal incubation temperature. Males are produced below this temperature and females above.
– Sex of the turtle is determined by the temperature it is incubated at. Type 1b has one transition zone and one pivotal incubation temperature. Males are produced above this temperature and females below.
– Sex of the turtle is determined by the temperature it is incubated at. Type 2 has two transition zones and two pivotal incubation temperatures. Males are produced in between the two transition temperatures and females at the two extremes.
– Temperature of the water.
– A turtle that was taken from the wild.
