Does anyone actually have a solution to the riddle " what came first - egg or chicken"?

Answer 1

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 2

Ah, yet when you're basing your answer on evolution, you need to imagine about the transition between the chickens previous species and its own. Like we got here from monkeys (theoretically talking) even as did the ape egg become a human egg? the concept of human replaced into in all likelihood theory up (by skill of people) beforehand the concept of the human egg. an similar because the concept of a hen may were theory up beforehand the hen egg, so therfore, the hen got here beforehand the egg if we assume of about in words of techniques. it really is a paradox, meaning it defies good judgment, intending to discover an answer, we favor to go beyond good judgment. if you are able to do this, then you definitely will win a nobel prize.

Answer 3

Well, Studies have shown that life started with a single cell organism. This was figured by the adaptation that they grew to multiple cells which were mammals. So the correct answer would be "The chicken came before the egg.

Answer 4

The egg. The chicken was a mutation of the parent species.

Answer 5

A lizard like critter lays an egg.
A mutated bird lizard hatches.
Eventually one of its descendents becomes a chicken, hatching from an egg laid by a mother who was close to being, but not quite a chicken.

Answer 6

An egg by it's self would not survive,it would need a chicken to sit on it and keep it warm.

So first there was a chicken,it laid an egg,it sat on it,kept it warm,the egg hatched,now you have a moma chicken and a baby chick.

Answer 7

"The question 'What came first, the chicken or the egg?' is a product of the linear mind. Linearity is an illusion."

"Recognizing the nonlinearity of Nature confounds the linear mind; to truly understand Nature we are forced to think outside the (appropriately Euclidean) box..."

"How delightfully difficult it is to accept the reality of our ignorance. The door is in Nature, but only by giving up what you think you know about Nature. by being willing to know nothing, is the door found."

Answer 8

How is an egg supposed to hatch if if no chicken layed it...it would freeze....God put the chickens there, and THEN the egg got layed...duh! lmao

Answer 9

Egg is the answer. If you know about the bible in old testament, God created Adan which is male. The logic is Adan has an egg so the the first came is egg...

Answer 10

it's the egg. a chicken is a cross breed of a dodo and a duck. so there.
