Types of Animal Eggs

Amount of Yolk
1. Alecithal: In mammalian egg yolk is absent. If present, it is in a negligible
quantity.
2. Microlecithal: The eggs containing small amount of yolk are called
microlecithal. Example: Amphioxus.

3. Mesolecithal: Moderate amount of yolk is found in these eggs. Example:
Amphibian.
4. Macrolecithal: Enormous amount of yolk is present. Example: birds.
Distribution of yolk:
1. Isolecithal or Homolecithal: Yolk is in small amount and
distributed evenly throughout the cytoplasm (e.g.,Amphioxus).
2. Telolecithal: Distribution of yolk is unequal. Yolk is more in the
lower part. (e.g., frog).
3. Centrolecitha: Yolk is concentrated in the centre of the egg
(e.g.,insects).
4. Discoidal: The amount of yolk is enormous (e.g., birds).
Presence or absence of shell:
1. Cleiodoic: These eggs are laid on land and fully surrounded by a
waterproof shell. eg., reptiles,
2. Non-cleiodoic: These eggs are laid in water and not protected by shell.
e.g., amphibian.
Type of development:
1. Determinate or Mosaic eggs: Such eggs are called determinate eggs.
Indeterminate or Regulative eggs: Such eggs are called indeterminate
Binomial Nomenclature:
 Carolus Linnaeus introduced the method of naming the animals with two
names known as binomial nomenclature.
 The first name is called genus and the first letter of genus is denoted in
Capital.
 The second one is the species name denoted in small letter.
 The binomial names of some common animals are as follows

Common

Amoeba Amoeba proteus
Hydra Hydra vulgaris
Tapeworm Taenia solium
Roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides
Earthworm Lampito mauritii / Perionyx

Leech Hirudinaria granulosa
Cockroach Periplaneta americana

3. Pharynx perforated by gill slits Gill slits absent
4. Heart is ventrally placed Heart is dorsal or laterally placed or Absent
5. A post anal tail is present A post anal tail is absent
6. Alimentary canal is placed ventral to the nerve cord Alimentary canal is placed
