An egg is an animal reproductive body that is spherical or ellipsoidal in shape. Inside the egg is the fertilized ovum that grows and develops as an embryo. It is produced and released outside of the animal body by fish, birds, snakes, insects, turtles, and other animals.
An egg yolk is basically a bag of concentrated food for the development of a chicken embryo if the egg is fertilized. It doesnât float around freely inside the clear egg white, but is anchored to the shell by two little twisted ropes called chalazae (pronounced cuh-LAY-zee), and these are the white things you are talking about.
