(The Naming is in no way a small book)

Dark blinked at Alexander's request, "A book on cell multiplication that occurs with the zygote?" Dark walked back over to the bookself and put The Naming back. "I don't think I have one..." Dark trailed off suddenly getting an idea. "I have a part of an older science book I can read out loud, if you would like." It had been on his computer since he had gotten his diploma. "A fellowclassmate gave it to me as a gag gift." Dark sat down at his computer then and pulled up a set of electronic documents,
"Here is a part about it, 'Biologically speaking, fertilization (or conception) is the beginning of human development. Fertilization normally occurs within several hours of ovulation, when a man’s sperm, or spermatozoon, combines with a woman’s egg, or secondary oocyte, inside a woman’s uterine tube, usually in the outer third of the uterine tube called the ampulla.

Fertilization begins with the spermatozoon contacting the cells surrounding the oocyte and ends with the mixing of the 23 male and 23 female chromosomes. The result is a single-cell embryo called a zygote, meaning 'yoked or joined together,' and it is the first cell of the human body.

The zygote, like the oocyte, is encased by its protective covering, the zona pellucida, and contains 46 unique chromosomes with the entire genetic blueprint of a new individual. Chromosomes contain tightly packed, tightly coiled molecules called DNA. Amazingly, DNA contains all the instructions needed for this single-cell embryo to develop into an adult.

The First Cell Division
The final steps in zygote formation include replication of the male and female DNA and the alignment of chromosomes in preparation for the first cell division through mitosis. The chromosomes assume a formation called a cleavage spindle, which is a phase of mitosis.

As the 2 sets of chromosomes migrate to opposite ends of the zygote, a crease begins to form along the equator marking the impending line of division. The zygote or single-cell embryo completes the first cell division approximately 24 to 30 hours after fertilization. The process of repeated cell division is called cleavage'."
Dark was highly embassed about reading that out loud but he was not sure how the computer would react to Alexander. Dark took a quick look at the book self which now contained a mostly empty book.
