Is the sex of the offspring of a cow determined by the egg or sperm?
The sex of the offspring is always determined by the sperm: this is the same in pretty well all animal life, including human reproduction. The gamete in a cow always carries the X chromosome. The gametes in a bull carry both X and Y chromosomes, which mean that if the sperm with an X chromosome fuses with the gamete of the cow, the offspring will be female. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome and fuses to the female gamete of the cow, then the offspring will be male.

What gene determines whether a human will develop into a male or female?
The Y-chromosome. Think of it this way: Each person contains the genes to be a female. These genes are inherited on the X-chromosome which every normal person has. However, if you have a Y-chromosome, you now posses the genes to make a male, and are thus will be a male.
