yes
edit: No, even though that is what social media would have you believe. In reality the egg yoke is simply food for a microscopic normal sized cell. The yoke itself does not live nor act like a cell at all. Also even if you were to assume that by a vauge definition it were a cell (the same definition that would interpret my bladder as a cell) then yes it would be an abnormaly large cell, but not the largest. There is a kind of plant growing in south america which can get multiple meters in length.
So im sorry but it is not the largest single cell, but that would be cool
A cell that fits in your hand and doesn't require a microscope to see is an egg cell, specifically a chicken egg. The yolk of the egg contains the ovum, which is the largest single cell in the animal kingdom and can be seen with the naked eye. Another example is a fully developed ostrich egg, which is also a single cell and is the largest known cell. These examples illustrate how certain types of cells can be visible without the aid of magnification.
The cell membrane. The shell is just an extra organelle solely made of calcium carbonate that provides structure. It is not part of the living egg, just a layer of protection. Note that the egg is only one cell
No, the yolk is not a nucleus. The yolk is a nutrient-rich component found in the center of an egg, providing essential nutrients for the developing embryo. It is not related to the nucleus, which is the central organelle containing the genetic material of a cell.
Yes, the yolk acts as a physical barrier to cleavage, making it more difficult for the zygote to undergo cell division. This can slow down or inhibit the cleavage process in organisms with telolecithal or centrolecithal eggs where the yolk is concentrated at one end.
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.
Each egg cell is a single haploid cell.

No, a chicken egg is not considered a single cell. It is made up of multiple cells, including the yolk, albumen (egg white), and membrane.
Caulerpa is the largest single Cell organism. An unfertilized Ostrich egg is the largest single Cell; Ovums are single Egg Cells. Actually the largest single cell in the world is the giraffe neuron in a hind leg of the giraffe.
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.
The germinal disc. The egg is really just a single cell, until it is fertilized. The blastodisc (white spot on top of the yolk) is what will become part of the fetus when fertilized with sperm. Then the fetus feeds off the yolk to continue developing.
A yolk plug is a large edible cell surrounded by the blastopore of an amphibian gastrula.

Yes, the yolk of an egg is a large or "fat" cell.
Finding a double egg yolk in a single egg is quite rare, occurring in about 1 in every 1,000 eggs.
The yolk of an egg is one cell.
