what comes first the egg or the chicken
Chicken or the egg If the question refers to eggs in general, the egg came first, as the first egg-laying animals evolved millions of years prior to birds.[1] If the question refers to chicken eggs specifically, the answer is again the egg, but the explanation is more complicated. An animal nearly identical to the modern chicken (i.e., a proto-chicken) laid a fertilized egg that had DNA identical to the modern chicken (due to mutations in the mother's ovum, the father's sperm, or the fertilised zygote).[2][3] Put more simply by Neil deGrasse Tyson: "Which came first: the chicken or the egg? The egg â€“ laid by a bird that was not a chicken."[4] For Richard Dawkins, "The chicken is only an egg's way of making another egg."
Alphabetical order To determine which of two strings comes first in alphabetical order, their first letters are compared. If they differ, then the string whose first letter comes earlier in the alphabet comes before the other string. If the first letters are the same, then the second letters are compared, and so on. If a position is reached where one string has no more letters to compare while the other does, then the first (shorter) string is deemed to come first in alphabetical order.
