Why does the Seder meal have a bone of lamb and a chicken neck in it?

The Seder meal uses either a lamb bone or a turkey/chicken neck to represent the Paschal (lamb) sacrifice. The Israelites offered a lamb as a sacrifice at the first Passover. They put the blood of this lamb on their doorways as a signal for the Angel of Death to "Pass-Over" their houses and not kill their firstborn sons. All the other firstborn sons of Egypt died in the tenth and final plague. Modern Passover meals can use a chicken or turkey neck in place of the lamb bone since the Holy Temple is unavailable and they therefore want to use something dissimilar to the sacrificial lamb, yet still use a bone to remind them of the sacrifice.
