For each chromosome contributed by the sperm there is a corresponding chromosome contributed by the egg, there are two chromosomes of each kind, which together constitute a pair.

I Think Im A Clone Now
Isnt it strange
Feels like Im lookin in the mirror
What would people say
If only they knew that I was
Part of some geneticists plan (plan-plan-plan)
Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
There in a petri dish late one night
They took a donors body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say
I think Im a clone now
Theres always two of me just a-hangin around
I think Im a clone now
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
Look at the way
We go out walking close together
I guess you could say
Im really beside myself
I still remember how it began (gan-gan-gan)
They produced a carbon copy man (man-man-man)
Born in a science lab late one night
Without a mother or a father, just a test tube and a womb with a view
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
Theres always two of me just a-hangin around
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
And I can stay at home while Im out of town
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
cause every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
Signing autographs for my fans
Come and meet the carbon copy man
Livin in stereo, its all right
Well I can be my own best friend and I can send myself for pizza so I say
I think Im a clone now
Another one of mes always hangin around
I think Im a clone now
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
Ive been on oprah winfrey - Im world renowned
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
And every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
Thats my genetic twin always hangin around
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)
cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down
I think Im a clone now (a clone now)

Y chromosome
A solitary chromosome in man
Is variant from that of woman.
The remaining chromosomes are alike.
Yet it makes man vary in every way.

The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.

Drowning By Numbers
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such determination always tries to turn the tide
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue.
Try losing, this chromosome.
Its my choosing, down to the bone.
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such imagination always helps the feeling slide.
Open up your soul, falling back into
The big, big blue.
Try losing, this chromosome.
Its my choosing, down to the bone.
Blood, dive in
Blood, drowning
Blood, dive in
[repeat]
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Auto-flagellation always helps the ghost to hide.
Open up your arms, let me dive into
The big, big blue.
Try losing, this chromosome.
Its my choosing, down to the bone.
Blood, dive in
Blood, drowning
Blood, dive in
[repeat]

Criminal Activity (Droighneach)
At a time a man constantly contributed
when crime was a kind of supreme solution,
as money was resolved to redistributed
funnily their was not any kind of inclusion
in the plans as he was really reassigned,
while scans of prints made a hot headline,
powers were to be redesigned, recombined
while showers did them continually confine.

No one ever contributed anything to my designs.
I know who I am. I don't have to brag. I know what I contributed. I know what I did. You think you can do it better? Hey, go right ahead. The stage is yours.
Love, defined.
What is love: the talk of two eyes,
the pull of two auras,
the mix of two chemistries,
the thaw of two hearts,
the fusion of two skins,
or
the urge of two gametes
to get whole in chromosome?
I think
It is the last one,
Which is manifested in all.

All of our forebears contributed to what South Africa has become. That does not, however, mean that I must apologize to anyone for being born a Zulu, or for having that culture.

My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.
We measured our success not just by how much money we made, but by how much we contributed to the community. It was a two-part bottom line.
