Theory: Jesus' body

I have some little knowledge of reproductive biology, and have a theory about how Jesus' body could have come about (Him supposedly having been virginally conceived).

My theory is that instead of meiosis during oogenesis in Mary's ovary, mitosis took place to give rise to a complete cell having 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), instead of the usual 23 chromosomes contained in a human egg. Mutation also took place in this complete cell, on the 23rd pair of chromosomes, such that XX became XY.

This complete cell was then released like a normal egg into the fallopian tube, implanted into Mary's womb, and from there grew into the baby born at Christmas, named Jesus. No need for further fusion with a sperm to get the correct number of chromosomes.

Jesus' body is thus simply a male clone of Mary's female body. Plausible?
