In most animals, offspring genders are determined by sex chromosomes at the time of conception. But alligators and other crocodilian species, as well as some turtles and lizards, do not have sex chromosomes. Instead, the sex of the young is determined by the temperature at which the eggs incubate during a critical period of development. Alligators American alligators live in freshwater environments like marshes, wetlands, swamps, ponds and rivers. They range west from Florida to southern Texas and north to parts of the Carolinas. Alligators have broad snouts and are predators of fish, turtles, other reptiles, birds and small mammals.
In this caseâwhich governs all snake speciesâmales are the homogametic sex (ZZ) and females are the heterogametic sex (ZW). In temperature-dependent sex determination, however, it is the environmental temperature during a critical period of embryonic development that determines whether an egg develops as male or female.eptiles in which both incubation temperature and sex chromosomes interact to determine sex may represent transitional evolutionary states between two end points: complete GSD and complete TSD.
