LIZARD REPRODUCTION: REFRACTORY PERIOD AND RESPONSE TO WARMTH IN UTA STANSBURIANA FEMALES
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|June 18, 1965
Abstract:
Photoperiod does not affect timing of the female reproductive cycle in Uta stansburiana. This lizard is refractory to reproduction until early December. Later, prolonged warmth under laboratory conditions initiates the reproductive cycle in some lizards regardless of photoperiod.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Temperature-Dependent Growth of Brook TroutThe growth of brook trout is closely influenced by water temperature. Experimental data demonstrate how trout weight changes over a 24-day period in response to varying water temperatures. At lower temperatures, such as 15.5 degrees Celsius, brook trout show significant weight gain. However, as the temperature increases, the amount of weight gained steadily decreases. At the highest temperature measured, 24.4 degrees Celsius, trout experience a net...
