All creatures in nature have genders, and the sex determinants of different creatures are not determined by the same pattern. For example, the sex of human beings is determined by chromosomal genes. So what factors in nature determine the sex of turtles, does it also depend on genes or some other external factors?

What determines the sex of a turtle ?

The factors that determine the sex of turtles are mainly external environmental factors: temperature, which means that turtle eggs do not play a role in determining sex. According to the research, the turtles born in the lower temperature environment are mostly male, whereas the turtles born in the higher temperature environment are mostly female. Isn't it interesting that the sex of turtles is controllable.
