What came first the chiken or the egg?

Answer 1

egg

Answer 2

My Answer: The egg


1) The egg came first because any female sex cell is called an egg.

2) An animal that was not a chicken laid the chicken egg which contained the first chicken. In this case the egg came first.

Answer 3

In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.

Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.

Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken's egg. So, the egg must have come first.

Answer 4

The answer to this simple question is the egg.But i will say this:Being that when chickens are being produced, the chicken is the one being produced first, then the egg shell forms around the chicken to protect it while getting ready for birth. Im so glad we were not made like that!!! lol

Answer 5

The egg. That embryo was the product of natural selection that continued the evolutionary process. In theory, a new creature will be born of a chicken agg someday.

Answer 6

It depends on whether you define the kind of egg by the bird that laid it, or by what it develops into. (i.e. A chicken egg can only be laid by a chicken, or a chicken egg is an egg that is laid by some "near-chicken" predecessor, but that develops into a chicken)

Answer 7

I think the chicken because I reckon it would have used some other method of reproduction before it evolved and began laying eggs.

Answer 8

The question is not to be taken literally. The question should be reworded, "Which came first, the parent or the child?" The question is one of evolution and to answer that question is to accept evolution (sorry to all the creationists out there). Creationists may say, "God", instead of acutally answering the question, but for them to answer any other way is to go against their beliefs.

Answer 9

egg, the "modern chicken" evolved from some ofther prehistoric chicken, but the prehistoric chicken had to lay and egg with the evolved baby inside...

Answer 10

egg cause everything that God created started as being a baby or an infant so i should say egg.

Answer 11

EGG. Its scientifically proven
