"Turtle" may refer to the order as a whole or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines. The order Testudines includes both extant and extinct species.

If we want to grow and sustain the population of sea turtles it is important to understand the genetic factors influencing turtle numbers. The DNA of turtles is passed through the females and so using genetics we can establish the provenance of a turtle's mother.

1.)Turtles spend most of their lives in water. They are adapted for aquatic life, with webbed feet or flippers and a streamlined body.
2.) Sea turtles rarely leave the ocean, except to lay eggs in the sand.

Leather back sea turtles in particular have unique thermoregulation techniques.Both sea turtles and tulips maintain homeostasis through ways of protecting themselves against the same forces (temperature, predators, weather, etc.) and ensuring species survival through efficient, effective reproductive techniques.

Just as your vertebrae grow with you, the same is true for a turtle's shell. For most species, as the turtle and its shell grow, the acutes on the shell shed or peel away to make way for new, larger acutes. ... When old acutes aren't suitably shed or are shed too often, turtle shells can develop infection and disease.

Based on body fossils, the first proto-turtles are believed to have existed in the late Triassic Period of the Mesozoic era, about 220 million years ago, and their shell, which has remained a remarkably stable body plan, is thought to have evolved from bony extensions of their backbones and broad ribs that expanded

Females come ashore on a sandy beach to nest a few weeks after mating. Female sea turtles must come ashore to build nests and lay their eggs. Females usually nest during the warmest months of the year. The exception is the leather back turtle, which nests in fall and winter.

Transcript of Sea Turtles. For example, Leather backs (one of the seven species of sea turtles on this earth) have a high concentration of red blood cells and their blood retains more oxygen. ... Their cells contain many of the same organelles as human cells: nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, cell membrane, etc.
