💡 Did you know?
Caffeine can begin affecting your brain in as little as 15–45 minutes, though the timing varies from person to person.

🧬 The Moment Life Begins ✨

Out of millions of s***m cells, only one normally fertilizes the egg. This extraordinary moment creates a zygote—the very first cell of a new human life.

From this single cell, the journey of human development begins.

💡 Did you know?
Once one s***m enters the egg, the egg's outer membrane changes almost immediately to help prevent other s***m from entering.

👇 Question:
How many s***m normally fertilize one human egg?

🅰️ 1
🅱️ 10
🅲️ 100
🅳️ 1,000
