hlo mate here is your answer.
Evolutionary maintenance of genetic sex-ratio variation is enigmatic since genes for biased sex ratios are disadvantageous in finite populations (the "Verner effect"). However, such variation could be maintained if a small number of nuclear sex-determining genes were responsible, although this has not been fully demonstrated experimentally. Brood sex ratios of the freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata are highly variable among parents, but population sex ratios are near unity. In this study, the effect of each parent on the brood sex ratio was investigated by exchanging partners among mating pairs. There were positive correlations between sex ratios of half-sib broods of the common mother (r = 0.42) or of the common father (r = 0.47). Moreover, the correlation between full-sib broods was very high (r = 0.92). Thus, both parents contributed equally to the sex-ratio variation, which indicates that nuclear genes are involved and their effects are additive. Since the half-sib correlations were much stronger than the parent-offspring regressions previously obtained, the variation was caused by zygotic sex-determining genes rather than by parental sex-ratio genes. The number of relevant genes appears to be small.
thank you.

Sex determination in snail is not genetic because they are Hermaphrodite. It means that the snails have both sex organs in single body.
Explanation:
Genetic mode of sex determination is based upon X and Y chromosomes which are called as sex chromosomes. The individual with two X chromosomes are called female and individual with one X and one Y chromosome is called female. The sex organs are located on different individual. Thus it is genetics.
On the other hand, as snails are hermaphrodite, their sex determination is not genetic.
