During reproduction, two organisms pass along their genetic information in the form of DNA. But the replication of this DNA is never 100% accurate and often produces minor …(9)…for the new organism. These small mutations in DNA over thousands of generations create new …(10)…but these genetic mutations must occur in the zygote, or initial cell.
So, a creature very similar to a chicken, which we could call a proto-chicken, would have mated with another proto-chicken and because of a small genetic mutation, created the first chicken which …(11)…in an egg. So, the egg came first?
Well, Team Chicken might argue that this was simply a chicken growing inside of a proto-chicken egg. However, no one mutation can ever really constitute a new species even though we humans like to classify all creatures into different groups and …(12)… This is based on how things currently are and not how they were millions of years ago.
The process of evolution is so gradual that no one proto-chicken to chicken birth could really be considered a new species at the time much. Like how …(13)…have come from wolves. As …(14)…began to interact with and domesticate wolves, there was no one single point where a wolf gave birth to a dog.
