There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Technically it is not a problem, a mutation happened and the egg was now going to create a different version of the parent. Whether you checked the DNA of the egg or when it was older it would be the same species, but different from the parent, and the parent did not change.
It's a problem of definitions.
Is a chicken egg an egg layed by a chicken, or an egg from witch a chicken will hatch?
:) A chicken is a discernable species, this species differemtiation happens at the egg; regardless if the egg was laid by a dinosaur.
