The temperature! If it is between 31.7degrees C (89 degrees F) and 33.5 degrees C (94 degrees F) it will be a male, but if the temperature is outside that narrow 2.8 degrees than it will be a female.
Depends on the age, sex and size of the crocodile.
The sex of a crocodile is typically determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. In general, warmer temperatures during incubation result in more males, while cooler temperatures result in more females. This phenomenon is known as temperature-dependent sex determination.
The sex of developing crocodilians is determined by the incubation temperature of the eggs. This means crocodilians do not have genetic sex determination, but instead have a form of environmental sex determination which is based upon the temperature embryos are subjected to early in their development. Crocodile embryos do not have sex chromosomes, and unlike humans sex is not determined genetically. Sex is determined by temperature, with males produced at around 31.6 °C, and females produced at slightly lower and higher temperatures. The average incubation period is around 80 days, and also is dependent upon temperature.

the answer is sex chromosomes
Depends on the age, sex and size of the crocodile.
The temperature they are incubated in.
In humans, which sex chromosome determines if an offspring is a male or female?
sex
Crocodile embryos do not have sex chromosomes (which determine the sex of a child in humans) and sex is not determined genetically in crocodiles. The sex of a crocodile is determined by temperature -- with males around 31.6 degrees Celsius (89 degrees Fahrenheit) and with females at slightly lower or higher temperature.
The sex of a crocodile is typically determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. In general, warmer temperatures during incubation result in more males, while cooler temperatures result in more females. This phenomenon is known as temperature-dependent sex determination.
A Nile crocodile is classed as a reptile because they are cold-blooded, they lay hard-shelled eggs, they have scales and they have sex but don't give birth to live young.
The male has an x and a y sex chromosome. The female has two x sex chromosomes.
gametes
Well, it actually depends on the age, sex or species, but yes it can.
The sex of a human is determined by the presence of sex chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The combination of sex chromosomes inherited from the parents at conception determines the biological sex of the individual.
