WHAT DOES VITELLUS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

vitellus

Egg yolk

The yolk is a part of an egg that feeds the developing embryo in animals. In whole eggs, 10% of the protein comes from the yolk. Also known as deutoplasm, this food material is accumulated during oogenesis, together with RNA molecules and other substances. These may be synthesized by the oocyte itself or by the cytoplasm of other non-germ cells. The amount of yolk in an egg cell affects the developmental processes that follow fertilization, like the cleavage. Apart from animals, other organisms, like algae, specially in the oogamous, can also accumulate resources in their female gametes. In gymnosperms, the remains of the female gametophyte serve also as food supply, and in flowering plants, the endosperm.
