Loggerhead turtles need an incubation temperature between about 28 and 32 degrees Celsius. When temperatures are higher, more female turtles are produced. When temperatures are lower, more males are produced. When the temperatures exceed this range, the offspring don't develop and die. Scientists have observed that, in Florida, 90 percent of the turtles born are females. If global climate change continues, what is the best prediction that can be made based on these observations?

if global warming continues, the temperature will continue to rise and the offspring won't develop and they will die, eventually causing the loggerhead turtle to go extinct 

Answer:

The overall population of turtle will reduce and may reach to the stage of extinction.

Explanation:

Since with the rising global temperature, more number of female turtles are reproduced. Thus, this process will continue till the male turtles are both alive and fertile.

In initial days the population of female turtle will rise as compared to the male turtles. But in long run, the population of females will also decline with the declining male population as there will be less number of male turtle available for fertility

Hence, after a certain course of time, the overall population of turtle will reduce and may reach to the stage of extinction
