The germinal disc is located on the yolk, so that is where the initial cellular division takes place. But a chick can not develop with out both the yolk and the whites (albumen). The yolk is a high concentration of fats which provides energy for growth where as the albumen is high in proteins also needed for tissue growth.
The shell, white and yolk.
The yolk in an egg is the food for the developing embryo, with the white (or albumen) surrounding it acting to support and protect it from the outside environment. Your average store-bought eggs are unfertilized, so the embryo has not developed and is typically not visible.
inside an egg, the white part provides food for it. the chicken itself grows in the yolk.
The egg white, or albumen, is 90% water and 10% dissolved protein. It's function for the developing chick is to provide nutrition in addition to the yolk.
If you are referring to the vitiline membrane which surrounds the yolk when the yolk is released into the oviduct it is only meant to keep the yolk intact.
The yolk is the food for the cell. It is the very life of the developing embryo. For the 21 days that cell need to grow into a living breathing chicken, everything it need will come from that yolk.
It takes both a yolk and albumen to form a chicken. Both are used to grow the embryo during incubation.

The yolk has far more calories than the egg white. In one large chicken egg, forexample, there are approximately 16-17 calories in the egg white and approximately 54-55 calories in the egg yolk.
A fertile chicken egg contains an embryo, which is what grows to become a baby chicken, gradually consuming the egg yolk and the egg white in the process.
egg white & egg yolk, aka the unborn remains of a baby chicken that is nasty :)
no, the egg yolk is just the yolk. and the egg white is just the white
No the yolk of an egg is orangish yellow.. the shell is either white or brown depending on which you prefer..
Egg yolk is thicker than egg white.
