You are a biologist on a trip to an island in the south pacific. while on the island, you are allowed to collect dna samples from a local species of rat that resembles a species seen on a nearby continent. if your dna analysis also indicates the two species are closely related, you might conclude that the evolution of the two separate species was an example of speciation through

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.
