What role does the yolk play in an egg?

The yolk in an egg provides essential nutrients and fats for the developing embryo. It also acts as a source of energy for the growing chick.


Why can a chicken egg cell be so much larger than other cells?

A chicken egg cell needs to be larger. In that one cell are all the substances the growing chick will need. Even a human egg cell is much larger than normal cells. This is made up for when the cell starts diving mitotically. There is only nuclear growth, without significant growth in cytoplasm.ie. each individual cell gets smaller, but the whole mass remains approximately the same size as the original egg cell. Most cells obtain nutrients through their cell membrane. As a result, most cells must be small in order for enough nutrients to pass through their membrane at a time. The larger a cell gets, the more nutrients it requires to pass through the cell membrane. This is what keeps most cells small; the need to even out the surface area to volume ratio of a cell. However, because the nutrients that an egg needs are contained within it, it can grow to be as big as it wants, because there is no need to even out the surface area to volume ratio of this cell.


What happens when a fertillized egg splits?

The fertilized egg is in the eggshell. It is an extremely large egg. It fills the egg shell. It is larger than the chick will be when it hatches! It divides like any other cell and becomes smaller.

Why would there be no chick develloping if cells did not specialize?

If cells did not specialize, they would all remain undifferentiated and unable to perform specific functions necessary for the development of complex organisms like chicks. Specialization allows for the formation of various tissues and organs, each with distinct roles, such as muscle, nerve, and epithelial tissues. Without these specialized cells, critical processes such as nutrient transport, respiration, and growth would be impaired, preventing the embryo from developing properly. Consequently, the formation of a chick or any multicellular organism would not occur.
