Did You Know?

At the moment of conception,

the fertilized egg contains more

information than can be stored in

5 sets of volumes of

the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Day 1: Sperm joins with egg to form one cell — no bigger than a grain of sugar. The new life has 46 chromosomes... the complete genetic blueprint is there — the child’s gender, hair color, eye color, skin tone and height. Everything is there, the baby just needs to grow, inside and outside of the womb.

Day 21: The heart begins to beat. 

Day 35: Five fingers can be discerned in the hand. The eyes darken as pigment is produced.

Day 40: Brain waves can be detected and recorded.
