  1. Chicken It evolved slowly slowly over time n lays eggs
     
  2. Dinosaurs
     

  3. Support
     
  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.
     
  5. I agree to everything you said anoop!?Try to make it smaller because it was hard to read 
    The chromosomes changed and mutated in a way. The 23 ( I think that's how much) pairs of genes slowly developed and changed to its surroundings so a chicken was hatched. The egg's genes got changed in some way, then the chicken came from the egg. Thus I believe the egg came first
     
  6. Protein
     
  7. i came first
     
  8. The egg came first.
    For the fact dinosaur's layed eggs but have now gone extinct. But they did lay eggs and over the years what came out of the egg slowly chance and slowly adapted now we have chickens as to other animals we have.
     
  9. Well the Bible says that God created all things and That Adam (the first man) named every animal that was made, now it takes a long time for a chicken to fully mature, and since this is that is the case how would he be able to name them if all he saw was an egg? Exactly he wouldnt be able to, but since he was able to, the chicken would have had to come first.

    (If you would like Bible references i will gladly share if asked)
     
  10. He could of named it chicken. It's just naming something, you don't have to know what it looks like or anything. I'm sure a chicken back then wasn't even a thing, except a bunch of atoms formed together, vibrating?a tiny bit to form a chicken. You could of named it anything.
    For example, a mother naming a foetus who she hasn't seen before. You can name it anything
     
  11. Well of course that is true, but even mothers who pick out names, go through several different names, but it wouldnt be hard to go to every single different animal that has been born as an egg and say oh this is gonna be a chicken just cause ive seen an egg, if that was the case, everything that was first an egg is now a chicken.
     
  12. All in Genesis 
     
  13. ? Chicken
     
  14. Bruh, I don't think there were chickens back then. I don't think God even knew what a chicken was. He might of seen it as a foetus of a bird.
     
  15. If your religious then: the chicken

    Scientist: egg
     
  16. Depending on religion the answer can be found in the book of genesis it said something along the lines of "and on the... day god created all winged birds....."

    And if u choose no religion or another as long as u speak english the answer is chicken because C comes before E in the dictionary

    In.spanish egg comes first because Huevo comes before Pollo in the spanish dictionary.
