egg yolk...

[new_guy]

having two eggyolk in one egg is rare... is it true...?

And please explain why this happen...

Well think of the egg as a huge single cell and the egg's yolk is the nucleus. So if the egg has two yolks that means it has two nuclei. Which is pretty rare in any cell.

Two nuclei in an enclosed single cell such as the egg is most likely caused by mutation or the cell is in the middle of dividing during the development of the fetus (the chick).

Hope that helps.

hmm....easy to understand ...thx....

I've eaten an egg that have two eggyolk last year... Since it is rare , guess I'm lucky to witness it with my own eyes...(I was alone at the kitchen at the time)

Really? I have yet to see one and I eat eggs for breakfast almost every morning I can.. which is also rare. My GF said she has seen one also.. I guess I am just not that lucky.

So Andrew, since you get the chance to see them would you be kind enough to click a photo of one and post it here

[MrMistery]

i came across it once but i didnt eat it! my dad said it was mutated. once i broke an egg and it had blood. wat does that mean?

[opuntia]

You mean egg placenta? ( dunno if this is the right word or not )
