Is it an underdeveloped chick? I don’t get it
In: Biology
No an egg yolk is not an underdeveloped chick. The egg yolk is the ovum, which in humans is the female gamete. But in chickens the gamete is the blastodisc. The blastodisc is a small white cell attached to the yolk, which will turn into a baby chick if fertilized. The yolk will act as a nutrient source, since there is no placenta and the chick is never physically attached to the mother.
