Cloning of C. It is used in reference to species with temperature-dependent sex determination, such as crocodilians and turtles. Female-like receptivity was then tested by introducing the experimental animal into the tank of an OVX and T-implanted stimulus animal that had previously shown robust male-like pseudocopulation.
Please review our privacy policy. For example, in many turtle species, eggs from cooler nests hatch as all males, and eggs from warmer nests hatch as all females. The administration of estradiol and progesterone also alter 5-HT content in hypothalamic nuclei in female rats Female-like receptivity was then tested by introducing the experimental animal into the tank of an OVX and T-implanted stimulus animal that had previously shown robust male-like pseudocopulation.
