The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Telolecithal Eggs**: - Telolecithal eggs are characterized by an uneven distribution of yolk within the egg. This means that the yolk is concentrated in one area rather than being evenly spread throughout the egg. 2. **Location of Yolk**: - In telolecithal eggs, the yolk is primarily found at one end of the egg. This is in contrast to other types of eggs, such as isolecithal eggs, where the yolk is evenly distributed. 3. **Visualizing the Egg Structure**: - If you visualize a telolecithal egg, you can imagine it as having a large mass of yolk on one side, while the other side contains mostly cytoplasm. This uneven distribution is crucial for the development of the embryo. 4. **Examples of Organisms**: - Telolecithal eggs are commonly found in certain groups of animals, including reptiles, fishes, and monotremes (egg-laying mammals). This is important for understanding the reproductive strategies of these species. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the yolk in a telolecithal egg is found predominantly on one side of the egg. **Final Answer**: The yolk in a telolecithal egg is found on one side. ---
