The formation of the endoderm during gastrulation. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. Process involved in cell fate commitment. Once determination has taken place, a cell becomes committed to differentiate down a particular pathway regardless of its environment. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into an endoderm cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates of the endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm as a part of gastrulation. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which a cell becomes committed to become part of the endoderm.
