On this day, since nothing else has presented itself, I've decided to see what the last word is in my desktop dictionary. And the winner is..............
Zygote
Hmmm. I vaguely remember "zygote" from biology.
A zygote is, according to Oxford American Dictionary, "a cell formed by the union of two gametes".
And that begs the question, "what is a gamete?"
A gamete is "a mature germ cell able to unite with another in sexual reproduction".
So gametes are momma and daddy germ cells, and zygotes are baby germ cells? I guess so.
