Why can we cultivate hybrid seed?

WHY do some people think that the SPERM is the seed and the EGG CELL isn't!?

  • why do some people think that the sperm is the seed and the egg isn't? is it just a use of volcabulary? because i refuse to think so..? there has been no proof, if sperm was the seed then how comes i watched this documentary about an egg cell being fertilized WITHOUT sperm? what was the baby made without a seed!? the sperm or egg isn't the seed.. its kind of annoying when people say that the sperm is the seed! trust me if it was then we would have our dads mtDNA.. but yeah why do people think it is? please explain? i watched a show called 'death of the father' and it was a scientist saying how one day they would find out how to fertilize egg cells without sperm, research ;eggs fertilized without sperm' on google! so more likely the egg is the seed if anything.. research on google ' death of the father ' ' making sperm ' and ' egg cells fertilized without sperm ' and in some they fertilized eggs with bone marrowss! i also believe that the egg cell is the seed because of parthenogenesis (research it) its amazing how mammals cells can be fertilized without males, but sperm can never and never will be able to be fertilized without egg cells trust me...... men just want to take phaise for everything, well if it wasn't for women there would be no more babies, the sperm is just the activator in my opinion, SO yeah why the hell do people say that the sperm is the seed, is it because seed means sperm in greek??? i mean when men masturbate/cu*m there cu*m is sperm.. where as womens isn't, it makes me feel like sperm is basically nothing but water, i mean no way is cu~m a seed to a baby! this is just the way i think.

  • Answer:

    I think sperm is sperm and egg is egg... The seed is the fetus -- since a seed is already fertilized...

Barbie is trolling and asks this question frequently.

The seed is the Zygote, or the fertilized egg. An egg can't be naturally fertalized without a sperm.

Seeds are for plants.. humans are animals.. you're talking apples and oranges here.

first, calm down. take a deep breath and relax. the world doesn't need to be so complicated. second: i think it has more to do with speech and vocabulary as much as it has to do with our society and culture as far as the male dominance thing (which isn't just our species, mind you). another angle would be that being how the sperm have to implant themselves into the egg for it to be a 'natural' conception, it would then be 'seeding' the egg with its missing components. so you can manipulate nature with science, that doesn't change our 'ancient' way of thinking overnight. we have plants that don't need soil to grow, but you ask 90% of the population what one of the basic things a plant needs to survive is, and i gaurantee you soil will be one of those answers; thus is the same with sperm and egg.

LOLOLOLOL... You refuse to believe science? What is this world going to become? (to the person down further with the Blue Moon ques. A blue moon is the second full moon of the month. It doesn't happen often so when something rarely happens, people say, it happens once in a blue moon)

Seeding is generally putting something in something else. It's the sperm that has to enter the egg. Therefore it takes on the seed designation. P.S. What's "phaise"?

because the sperm cell is the seed, and the egg is the soil

Its just the English language I think. The verb "to seed" is an action, and the sperm are the active element in the equation. The egg just sits there passively waiting to be seeded by the seeding sperm! Naturally the verb "to seed" is a farming term. The farmer scatters the grain seed on the earth to produce crops. So really as far as egg and sperm go its just a bad analogy.
