Male egg

Male eggs are an impossible thing—at least not naturally. Males, like most animals, have sperm cells they use to fertilise a female's egg cell. This fertilised egg then grows into a baby. But males don't have egg cells—only female animals do. That's because egg cells contain a special kind of genetic material (DNA) from the mother, which helps to create the baby. So male eggs are impossible, because males don't have any egg cells!
