    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.
