A scientist introduced mutations in a gene sequence isolated from bacteria. study the sequence and identify the steps where the mutations may affect the formation of proteins. In the sequence, black letters stand for protein coding regions

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

i think it is dna, i'm not totally sure but i think it might be.

a- multicellular

b-eukaryotic

c-no cell wall

d-heterotrophic

e-autotrophic
