There are situations that occur during fertilization, if the egg somehow loses it genetic material, the sperm enters the egg, but it duplicates its own half genome to form a 46 pairs but this is abnormal, because the gene pattering and also epigenetic silencing is different from males and females, so it forms abnormal mass of tissue called a mole; it can be partial or complete, one of the types can become a rare form of cancer
