How does conception happen? |
A woman will release a mature egg and sperms will race to reach the egg. The relatively few that make it to the egg release digestive enzymes that eat away the egg's protective coating, allowing a sperm to penetrate. Once egg begins to penetrate, the egg's surface blocks out the others. Fingerlike projections also spring out to pull in other successful sperms |

Maturation |
Biological growth process that enables orderly changes in behaviour, relatively uninfluenced by experience. Severe deprivation or abuse will retard development, and ample experience with parents who talk and read to the child will help sculpt neural connections. |
