We all have conceptual thoughts about who we are and what our own identity is. Those same thoughts can apply to our self concepts when we look at the groups we belong to and our own internal self identity. In this lesson we will explore these aspects and delve deeper into social identity theory.
There really isn't a study of turtles.. The study of reptiles is Herpetology. I'm sure you can specialize in turtles but the main study is of reptiles. I wish you the best of luck! well its not just turtles its repitiles in amiphibians in general i want to b one to but its like 16 + years of school but you would b called a Herpetologist. Chelonologist.
Alex Quinn, a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Applied Ecology at the University of Canberra in Australia, sorts this quandary out for us. Sex-determining mechanisms in reptiles are broadly divided into two main categories: genotypic sex determination (GSD) and temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Species in the genotypic group, like mammals and birds, have sex chromosomes, which in reptiles come in two major types. Many speciesâsuch as several species of turtle and lizards, like the green iguanaâhave X and Y sex chromosomes (again, like mammals), with females being homogametic, that is, having two identical X chromosomes.
