Minute part of it in yolk (4)
I believe the answer is:
tiny
'minute' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'part of it in yolk' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'TINY' can be found hidden inside 'it in yolk'.
(Other definitions for tiny that I've seen before include "Little" , "Extremely small" , "Diminutive; small" , "Quite insignificant" , "Minuscule" .)
