What did j. j. thomson’s experiments with cathode ray tubes imply about the mass of an electron?
electrons are many thousand times larger than the nucleus and negatively charged.
electrons are many thousand times smaller than the nucleus and positively charged.
electrons are many thousand times smaller than the nucleus and negatively charged.
electrons are many thousand times larger than the nucleus and possess no charge.

Correct C). Electrons are many thousand times smaller than the nucleus and negatively charged.

J.J Thomson in his first experiment with cathode ray tube discovered that cathode rays and the charge that was deposited are intrinsically linked together.

In his second experiment, he discovered that the charge in the cathode ray tube was negative. And from that, he deduces that cathode rays are made of negatively charged particles.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
