who come first chiken or egg?

Question

[a]chiken
[b]egg
[c]both

Answer 1

chicken :-)

Answer 2

You have to think this out logically.

So chickens came about through darwinian evolution (and yes the biological world considers it true and has evidence for it) so they didn't need to come from an egg necesaraly. The creature who gave birth to the first chicken was not a chicken (otherwise they would not ahve given birth to the first chicken). However, chickens are part of the group of animals known as birds, which (and I'm sure there are exceptions) all lay eggs.

Therefore, if another bird creature produced the first chicken. then the egg came first. Failing that logic, reptiles came before birds, and they lay eggs, so AN egg came before the chicken.

Answer 3

This is q question which no one can really answer... For one the egg would have to come first but where would it come from? The chicken...but where would it come from if there was no egg first? Maybe it came from another planet on an astroid, it could have hitched a ride and then years ago when the earth was going through many changes, it fell off and was saved by something soft. The astroid killed off the planet and then the egg was released... The TA DA then chicken and the egg.

Answer 4

chicken; an egg cannot form itself since it's created inside a chicken. Eggs are a result of evolution. A chicken is a result of many evolutionary changes in the creature itself.

Which came first a shark or a shark egg? No difference than the chicken. I think questions that have been asked before should not be allowed to be repeated, only referenced.

Answer 5

Assuming you believe in evolution, the egg would have came first.

The egg would have been laid by an animal similar to the chicken, but slightly less evolved. This chicken would have been formed by a mutation in the DNA. DNA is extremely complex, and when copying it, sometimes things go wrong, so a mutation forms

This chicken would have a feature better suited to survival in its conditions than its predecessors, and therefore where some of its predecessors would die in these conditions the chicken would survive. The chicken would then mate with one of its predecessors and some of its offspring would also have the gene making it a chicken, and gradually through survival of the fittest, the non-chickens would become extinct to leave the chickens to roam the earth.

Answer 6

Dinosaurs laid eggs long before chickens existed so Eggs came before chickens. Some scientists believe birds evolved from dinosaurs. Now, if you want to ask whether the parent or the offspring came first, some believe that the origins of life came to be in that a pool of chemicals mixed together to form deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). And from this DNA the first microscopic single celled organisms formed. These microorganisms eventually evolving into multicellular organisms and then even later into sea creatures.

So, if you want to know Literally, the Egg. If you want to know philosophically, the Chicken.

Answer 7

The egg

Answer 8

Which came first...the chicken or the egg is beside the point. What then, does it mean ?
Chicken-and-egg adj. involving the dilemma of not knowing which of two things is the cause and which the effect. The chicken-and-egg argument over slave status and race prejudice__which came first and which caused which.

Answer 9

Egg, easy question. Dinosaurs were laying eggs way before the first chicken.

Answer 10

one biologist's answer:

since evolution happens between generations, the first "chicken" would come from a mutated egg which was laid by the predecessor to the chicken species.

my answer is really only tongue-in-cheek because evolution and speciation occurs gradually. that is, the chicken didn't just appear one day.

Answer 11

I think is impossible to give a correct answer to this question.

By the way, is probably the the first was the egg, because it is te very sikmilar to primigenia cell.
