Ok, so what exactly goes on with chicken/bird eggs? they start out as one cell... before it's fertilized... but what is it? Is the oocyte stuck to the yolk? or is it the yolk itself? or the whole egg? I've heard that the biggest cells in the world are ostrich eggs, but I don't quite believe it.
When is it fertilized?
I kind of know what goes on with insect eggs (at least Drosophila melanogaster), but how do reptile eggs and mammal eggs (monotremes) compare to chicken eggs? how about fish and all the other types of eggs out there?
