The egg cell not only has half the chromosomes but it also contains all the food for the individual until the egg can either hatch or develop a placenta. The egg contains all the equipment that enables the cell to function. It is as if the sperm carried half the blueprints and the egg carried the other half of the blueprints. Then the egg carried the workers, the bulldozers, the steel, and the rest of the building supplies, the electrical equipment, the motors, etc., required to build the project and make it run.
