Answer: C.) Noah's data indicates the alligators follow Pattern 2 because there are more females born at both ends of the temperature spectrum.

Explanation: The sex of the American alligator hatchlings is determined by the temperature of the eggs at a crucial time in development. Temperatures of 31 C (87.8 F) or below produce females, 32 C (89.6 F) produces 75 percent males and 32.5 C (90.5 F) and above are mostly females.
