Cheryl,
You said:
“The reason is because Eve had to be a DNA descendant of Adam’s so that the kinsman Redeemer that came through her would be traceable back to Adam before he sinned…”

Not only traceable, but also untainted by Adam’s bloodline. This fact implies that the human female ovum is uncorrupted in its natural state.

Why else would God choose a young virgin woman to bring his spotless lamb into the world? (Isaiah 7:14)

I’ll issue the caveat right now that this is only hypothesis on the one hand, but not at all unreasonable on the other.

It means that the machinery of slow death is not coded and set in motion (Romans 5:14) until the ovum becomes a fertilized zygote by a human male sperm cell.
