Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

Quem veio primeiro: o ovo ou a galinha?

Researchers in England discovered the answer by this mistake. They used a super computer to zoom in on the shell-making process while a new shell was forming. They said it all boils down to one protein called OC17 that is essential for forming eggshell. This protein is only found inside a chicken's ovaries, which is proof that the chicken came first. The big question now is where chickens came from. The answer to that is: FROM DINOSSAUROS.

Pesquisadores na Inglaterra, descobriram a resposta por este equívoco. Eles usaram um super computador para ampliar o processo de formação da casca do ovo, enquanto uma nova casca estava se formando. Eles disseram que tudo se resume a uma proteína chamada OC17 que é essencial para a formação da casca. Esta proteína é encontrada apenas no interior dos ovários de uma galinha, que é a prova de que a galinha veio primeiro. A grande questão agora é de onde as galinhas vieram. A resposta para isso é: DOS DINOSSAUROS.

Expressions with EGG:

1 - To walk on eggshells.
Pisar em ovos

2 - Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Não aposte todas as suas fichas

3 - Beaten whites
Clara em neve

4 - Scrambled eggs
Ovos mexidos

5 - To lay an egg
Botar um ovo

6 - Yolks of eggs
Gemas de ovos

7 - Go fry an egg
Vá catar coquinho

8 - That guy is a real rotten egg
Aquele cara é má influência
