Telolecithal and macrolecithal are terms used to describe the distribution of yolk in eggs, particularly in

relation to the amount and distribution of yolk relative to the egg cytoplasm. Here's a brief explanation of
each:

1. **Telolecithal**:
- Telolecithal eggs have a relatively small amount of yolk, which is concentrated at one end of the egg.
The rest of the egg cytoplasm occupies the other end. This type of egg is characteristic of organisms with
incomplete or partial cleavage during embryonic development. Examples of organisms with telolecithal
eggs include amphibians like frogs and toads.

2. **Macrolecithal**:
- Macrolecithal eggs have a large amount of yolk that is evenly distributed throughout the egg. The yolk
often occupies most of the egg volume, with a small amount of egg cytoplasm surrounding it. This type of
egg is characteristic of organisms with meroblastic cleavage during embryonic development, where only a
portion of the egg undergoes cleavage. Examples of organisms with macrolecithal eggs include birds and
some fish.

These terms help describe variations in egg structure and developmental patterns among different
organisms.
