The white dot on the yolk is the blastodisc, or where the chick embryo would form if it were fertilized. If you're talking about the strands that look like tails on the yolk, those are the chalazae that keep the yolk in place in side the egg.
That white dot on the egg yolk is the embryo of a chick that was supposed to form in the egg before that egg was taken away from the hen and put into cold temperatures to halt such growth from occurring. This white dot is there because that's how chicks come about: The ovum is attached to the yolk of the egg as it is released, and once fertilized by the sperm from a rooster, the albumin and shell form in the hen before being laid.
It is a germinal disc or a blastodisc.
It is the to be fertilized, of which when fertilized is called blastoderm, embryo of the egg that feeds on the egg yolk.
The above answer is quite correct, however, if you are referring to a chicken egg you just broke into a frying pan then perhaps what you are looking at is a chalaza. Chalaza is a protein strand (there are two of them). They are used to hold the yolk at the center of the Albumen (egg white). These chalaza can be broken when the egg is cracked into a pan and appear on top of the yolk. It will disappear when the egg is cooked and does not affect the quality or appearance of the cooked egg.
the food the hen eats. the lighter the food the bird eats the lighter the color of the yolk.
Different types of feed. Corn tends to make the yolk a lighter colour whereas barley or rye makes it a little darker, for example.
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.
the egg yolk
Neither. Egg Yolks are yellow.
Neither. Egg Yolks are yellow.
It means that the egg has been fertalized......and it is the start of a baby chic
The germinal spot is that small (2-3mm diameter) white dot on an egg yolk. If the egg has been fertilized, the germinal spot is where the baby chick will start to grow.
Albumen is the egg white
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.
The best part of the egg is the white, the yolk is too fatty and does not have as much protein as the egg white.
The egg white is called the albumen.
