Question

Eggs which have yolk in the centre surrounded by cytoplasm are called as

• A. Centrolecithal
• B. Homolecithal
• C. Microlecithal
• D. Alecithal

Answer 1

The correct option is A Centrolecithal

• Centrolecithal describes the placement of the yolk in the center of the cytoplasm of ova. Many arthropod eggs are centrolecithal.
• Homolecithal egg is an egg in which the total amount of yolk is small. The yolk is more or less evenly distributed among the cytoplasm.
• Small eggs with yolk much less than the amount of cytoplasm are called microlecithal.
• The human egg is alecithal, i.e. with a negligible amount of yolk.

So, the correct answer is 'Centrolecithal'.
