Eggs contain no to little amount of yolk as human eggs do. The small amount of yolk distributes itself throughout the egg.
No, by this stage the fetus should be clearly visible. The yolk sac is visible from 5 weeks.
The part of egg which has more concentration of yolk is the vegetal pole and the part with less concentration of yolk is called the animal pole.
Egg white and yolk.
No, they all contain egg yolk.
That's normal. The yolk sac wouldn't be visible at 10w4d.
Fish develop from eggs that contain a yolk. The yolk (like the yolk of a chicken egg) provides the fish embryo with all the food energy it needs to grow until it hatches.
The amount of yolk present in an egg can affect blastulation by influencing the cleavage pattern and rate of cell division. Eggs with more yolk tend to have slower and asynchronous cleavage, which can impact the formation of the blastula. Higher yolk content may also affect the size and nutrition available to the developing embryo during blastulation.
Sea star eggs have more yolk compared to frog eggs. Sea star eggs are considered macrolecithal, meaning they contain a large amount of yolk which is necessary for the development of the embryos. Frog eggs, on the other hand, are typically microlecithal and contain less yolk.
The vegetal pole of a zygote contains more yolk-rich cytoplasm compared to the animal pole, which has less yolk and more nutrient-rich cytoplasm. This difference in yolk distribution influences cell division and differentiation during early development.
Yes, it definitely can be mistaken for a viable pregnancy. An ultrasound can usually help in determining whether it is a blighted ovum or a pregnancy. If the sac is >8mm without a visible yolk sac (transvaginal ultrasound) or >16mm without a visible embryo (also transvaginally), it is considered a blighted ovum. Transabdominally, it is a blighted ovum if it measures >20mm without a visible yolk sac or >25mm without a visible embryo.

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.
