A zoology student investigated whether it's true that the gender of turtles depends on the temperature at which turtle eggs are kept before they hatch. He will test if turtle eggs incubated at29-30 degrees Celsius produce female, and eggs at 24-26 degrees Celsius produce male eggs. What is the independent variable?
