Chicken first? Egg first? This is a million dollar question. While asking this question it seemed that there was no way to find the answer. This is a question which has confused not only the common people but also the scientists. But a new study has found the correct answer to this question. If you come across the question whether the chicken comes first or the egg comes first, then it can be easily answered.
This new study has revealed a big truth about the development of life on Earth. According to scientists, organisms had the ability to form embryos long before the first organisms evolved. lead this study of the University of Geneva It was done by biochemist Marine Olivetta. This team of scientists says that a single-celled organism living in the soil under the sea surprisingly reproduces like the embryo of an animal.
Is the first egg the first chicken?
Organisms used in this study Chromosphaera perkinsii, There is an ichthyosporean microorganism (Chromosphaera perkinsii). In 2017, Chromosphaera perkinsii was discovered in marine sediments off Hawaii. The way it divides itself is similar to the process of cell division in the embryo. This organism has existed for more than a billion years.
The existence of Chromosphaera perkinsii suggests that programming evolved for eggs before eggs. This new discovery answers the puzzle of whether the egg or the chicken came first. A study published in the journal ‘Nature’ says that nature may have had the genetic tools to ‘make eggs’ long before ‘chickens were invented’.
‘It’s an interesting thing. A recently discovered species allows us to go back a billion years. The theory of embryonic development existed even before animals. This discovery may challenge some traditional concepts of multicellularity.
