Answer 1

Explanation:

In males, the penis comes out of the cloaca into the female cloaca when mating. ... To finish off, turtle mating, if the female's egg is fertilized, results in, with some exceptions of course, the female laying an average of a 100 to 200 eggs.

All turtles lay their eggs on land, and none show parental care. Amidst this apparent uniformity, however, there is a variety of reproductive behaviours, ecologies, and physiologies.

The age at which turtles first reproduce varies from only a few years to perhaps as many as 50, with small species typically reaching sexual maturity sooner. Female false map turtles (Graptemys pseudogeographica) of the central United States, for example, are about 8 cm (3.2 inches) long and become sexually mature at two to three years.
