If you really want to get pedantic, you could say we inherit our first cell membrane and mitochindria from our mothers, 50% of our genetic material, and perhaps 95% of our first cell’s cytoplasm.
After that, our mothers provide material that the zygote/fetus uses to build itself. It sounds incorrect to say we get all our cells from our mother, since she’s not making the cells, but only providing material and a place to grow. I know what you mean and share your sentiment. When gardening, did I grow these plants or did they grow themselves? Did the workers build the car, or did the owner of the factory?
Also the info provided by the father is absolutely biological material.
She is making the cells. The cells are hers. Just like a cancer mass has different DNA from the host but we can recognize that it belongs to the host and was made by the host, and isn’t autonomous outside of the host. The cells can belong to both the tumor and the patient. Just like these cells are made by the mother, belong to the mother, and are also made by and belong to the fetus. Or do you not thing the original egg cell belonged to the mother?
The info provided is biological material in the sense that the initial DNA/RNA are a biological material, but they are not cells.
I don’t make a car or a plant in my uterus off my own life force, but nice try.
Okay no, that’s not how it works at all. The differences in DNA between cancer cell and non-cancerous cell are negligable when compared to the differences between mother DNA and zygote/fetal DNA. If those fetal cells escaped the placenta or uterus, the mother’s immune system would attack them because they’re not recognized as “self.”
Sure, it’s the mother’s egg, until it isn’t. It quickly becomes something else biologically at the moment of fertilization.
Again, the mother isn’t making the cells, the zygote/fetal cells are making themselves.
It’s clear you have some beliefs that are not backed up by science. You also did not understand my analogies. I’m sure you’ll eventually learn this stuff in school.

Okay, so let’s pretend the a zygote is an incest zygote, then it’s DNA will be much closer. Repeat the argument.
I understand you, I disagree and have explained thoroughly where I disagree.
Exactly when “isn’t” it hers? The zygote cannot create matter out of nothing - who gives it that material?
Nope, I’m out. Bye
Okay, I accept your philosophical defeat.
