The Egg

The egg is ready to be fertilized. It waits patiently for the sperm to deliver its supply of DNA to combine with the egg's.  When, finally, one of the millions of sperm reaches the egg, it is the original egg that continues to grow and develop.  It only needed to search for the little bit of help that the sperm was offering.  Once fertilized, the egg is ready to become something greater than neither it or the sperm could have ever become alone.
