Depends on how many yolks there are.
Some eggs have two and then it is
"are yellow". If there is only one yolk
then it is "is yellow".
Is the joke on us?

It doesn't matter that the yolk is yellow. That's not what was asked.
The grammatically correct sentence would be "The yolk of an egg is white."

Grammatically the correct sentence would be "the yolk of an egg is white." However, I am quite sure that we all know that the yolk of an egg is yellow.

The yolk of an egg is yellow or the yolks of eggs are yellow. Either is correct , the second one is just plural.

The yolk of an egg is yellow.
The yolk of eggs are yellow.
Grammar does some wierd things, don't it? Though, truth to tell, I've never seen a white yolk.

Grammatically, one would say "is," for yolk is singular. However, to be fully correct, one must say "the yolk of an egg is yellow," for yolks are yellow.
