The development of some organisms, like sea turtles, are affected by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. Typically, cooler temperatures produce more males, and warmer temperatures produce more females. How might climate change affect the reproductive success of sea turtles?

Reproductive success will increase, because there will be more nesting ground available due to sea level rises.

Reproductive success will increase, because there will be more females to lay eggs.

Reproductive success will decrease, because there will be skewed numbers of males and females.

Reproductive success will decrease, because there will be longer migration routes due to sea level rises.
