• A. Oligolecithal
• B. Mesolecithal
• C. Telolecithal
• D. Centrolecithal

Answer 1

The correct option is C Telolecithal

Oligolecithal egg is the egg with small amount of yolk.

Mesolecithal egg is the egg with moderate amount of yolk.

Telolecithal egg, also known as macrolecithal egg, refers to the uneven distribution of the yolk in the cytoplasm of ovum found in birds, reptiles and fishes. Here, the yolk is concentrated at the vegetal pole of the egg.

Centrolecithal egg is the egg, where yolk is not concentrated at one end but is at the centre.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
