The temperature of the developing eggs is what decides whether the offspring will be male or female. This is called temperature-dependent sex determination, or TSD.In most species, gender is determined during fertilization. However, the sex of most turtles, alligators, and crocodiles is determined after fertilization.

temperature defines the sex of offspring in turtles.

Explanation:

  • In most of the species of animals, the sex is determined during the process of fertilization because two different gamete is responsible for determination of sex in them.
  • In turtle, alligators, crocodiles sex is not determined during fertilization but after the fertilization.  
  • If the turtle eggs incubate below  81.86 Fahrenheit, then the male turtle will be produced and if the incubation temperature is above 87.8° Fahrenheit than the female turtle will be produced.  
  • Therefore in this example temperature determines the sex of the offspring.
