Not the yolk or the clear part

If you're talking about that soft, white twisty thing, it's called the chalazae. It helps hold the yolk in place.

It is a membrane that holds the yolk to the white of the egg. It has nothing to do with the fertilizational status of the egg.
If you crack open an egg from the grocery store, you will find the same white spot, and 99.9% of grocery store eggs are not fertilized, because they do not keep roosters, only hens.
I have incubated and raised chickens for years.

It must be part of the yoke, a young baby bird not fertilized yet, or a egg that has been fertilized and a young chick is being developed.
A egg is pretty basic....

Accually that is the sperm of the male before it is able to become a chick because the egg got cold too fast. That was the start of the baby before it has a heart beat or brain.

That shows that the egg has been fertilized.
