"A baby is God's opinion that life should go on"- Carl Sandberg.
The minute that a woman knows that she is pregnant a sudden joy and happiness takes over and fills her heart and a sudden sense of proudness fills a man's heart as he become as a father. Pregnancy is a start of an incredible journey to parenthood. The passing on of life from one parent to child is one of the greatest privileges that approach to men and women. Seeing one's child grow and develop is life's gratifying satisfactions. A parent's triumph is to see his child grow like him. The passing of genetic information from one generation to another has physical components as well as philosophical. The actual beginning of a human life dates back nine months before birth where the mother and a father shared biological elements that are needed to create a human life.
The beginning of life takes place in the womb. When a female sex cell is mature enough it is released from the ovary and into the oviduct, a tube that leads to the uterus. The ovule is pushed through the oviducts towards the uterus. While the ovule is pushed through the oviduct, it becomes available for fertilization, the union of the male sex cell and the female sex cell. As millions of sperm enters the vagina, the race of their life begins where each sperm race each other to win the game of life and that's to pass the genetic information to the next generation. As the triumphant sperm reaches the egg the sperm begins to burrow its head to the egg to exchange genetic information. Inside the cells, one chromosome of each pair is the same to one in the sex cell the father contributed and the other in the same pair is identical to one of the sex cells the mother contributed. Thus, there are 23 chromosomes which carry the father's hereditary contribution and 23 from the mother's hereditary contribution making 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each 46 chromosomes contain genes and each gene contains DNA, a protein substance which controls the form and function of cells and tissues of this individual so that they harmonize with his hereditary pattern.
