Uhm, ackshually, it's the other way round. It seems the egg chooses which sperm fertilizes it.
So no, you weren't necessarily the fastest and strongest swimmer. Even better, you were chosen from among millions.
(Yes, that means we're all Chosen Ones and any of us can bring balance to the force.)
You were also the egg.
We were mostly the egg.
Is that true? By mass I guess, but I was always told that, genetically, it's 50/50.
That's true for nuclear DNA, but there's genetic code outside of your nucleus, mitochondrial DNA, that you inherit 100% from your mother.
And that's only talking DNA, but you're more than your genetic code. All of the organelles, lipidic membrane, cytoplasm... was generated from the egg material.
Huh, interesting. Thanks!
