Reptiles in Sex Reversal

Sex Reversal in Reptilian Embryonic Stages

->Begin by talking about primitive reptiles and how TSD functions

"Reptiles that do not undergo GSD will experience sex determination by temperature (TSD) (REF). TSD is a primitive form of sex determination that has been thought to be a precursor to GSD (REF). Since temperature plays a role in sex determination for these reptiles, the sex of an organism can be shifted."

-> Look at Wibbels paper on how he was able to adjust temperature
