The purpose of the yolk in a chicken egg is to feed the chick. It is a store house of nutrients and is rich in protein and fat.That is why the yolk is said to be the unhealthy part of the egg in terms of high cholesterol content for calorie and fat conscious people.
Chalaza are the rope-like extensions that hold a yolk centered in the egg shell. It attaches to either end of the shell and acts like an anchor to the yolk.
The chalaza in an egg is a rope-like, white "thing" that you might find in a scrambled or fried egg. If you look carefully, you can see it in a raw egg. What is does is it stabilizes or suspends the yolk, so that in a fresh egg the yolk floats in the middle of the albumin (egg white). When candling an egg, one thing you look for is that the yolk of an older egg will be near the shell and definitely visible. In a freshly laid egg, the you see a "shadow" of the yolk, and as you twirl the egg, the chalaza keeps the yolk in the center and away from the shell.
the yolk! 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 opposite of the whites of the egg is the yolk of the egg. The white, or albumen, is the clear part of the egg, while the yolk is the yellow, inner part of the egg.

no, the egg yolk is just the yolk. and the egg white is just the white
The yolk membrane serves as a protective barrier around the yolk to prevent damage and contamination. It also helps support the yolk structure and keeps it intact within the egg.

Strong protein strands called chalaza are attached to both sides of the yolk. Chalaza holds the yolk centered within the albumen (egg white).
"The yolk of the egg is yellow" is correct. "Yolk" is a singular noun, so it should be paired with the singular verb "is."
The small white bit next to the yolk of an egg is call chalaza. This is a strand of heavy protein that helps to keep the yolk centered in the albumen (white/clear part of an egg). This chalaza disappears as the egg get older and is more visible when you buy very fresh eggs.
Yolk is the yellow nucleus in the middle of the egg.
Egg yolk is thicker than egg white.
