This Bundle Includes:

• Sperm Cell (Spermatozoon)
       - This little man's man is the stuff of legends. You can bank on it.
• Egg Cell (Human Ovum)
       - This little egg cell would love to be the newest member of your family -- or get donated to someone special!
• Stem Cell
       - Stem cells are very special cells because they have no specialty except to remain ready, willing, and able to become, someday, whatever is needed.
• Zygote
        - After the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, they combine to form the zygote. The zygote represents the first stage in the development of a genetically unique person. It has genes from two parents, thus it carries two sets of chromosomes. The zygote contains all the essential factors for development, existing as an encoded set of instructions in the genes.
• DNA
       - Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is the amazing molecular double helix that contains the genetic codes for all known life. First identified in 1869 and accurately described in 1953, its very existence provides a new understanding about how life works.
