what came first the Chicken or the Egg?

Answer 1

Which came first - the chicken or the egg? "The chicken" came first - in the sentence of the question. If the question is phrased differently, the answer is different.

Answer 2

This is such a tough question and a funny one! I think god didn't make chicken first neither a egg. It was some other bird maybe which slowly turned in a chicken. And then the chicken gave a egg. Just like how man were made. First there was monkey, gorillas and then early humans and now modern humans.

Answer 3

The egg.

As whatever creature that evolved into a chicken was adapting to its environment, it laid an egg. The first chicken was born to something that was almost a chicken but not quite. The animal that was almost a chicken laid the egg that was to become the first chicken. So the egg was first.

Answer 4

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 5

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 6

The egg always comes first. When an animal evolves, it does so through it's offspring, not by changing itself.

So somewhere long ago in the past a turtle laid an egg and when it hatched the turtle said, "My God! My baby is a chicken!"

Answer 7

I answered this question a while back for someone else, but here goes. LOL Whether or not u believe my answer has to do with your beliefs about the creation of the world. I happen to believe the Biblical account. In the book of Genesis, God made the animals. Then he told the creatures to "be fruitful and multiply." That would imply that chicken had to come first.

Answer 8

The chicken came first then it laid the first egg which was eaten by a very hungry person .....

Answer 9

Reproduction by laying eggs occured before man domesticated jungle foul.

Answer 10

the egg. (there were egg-laying animals long before there were chickens.)

that was too easy. try a harder one.
