|
What is a zygote?
|
Diploid cell resulting from the union of 2 haploid gametes; 1st cell of 2nd generation.
|
|
What is an embryo?
|
Young plant of animal while it is still contained within a protective structure.
|
|
What are the 2 major processes occurring during embryonic development?
|
Cleavage: cell division.
Gastrulation: in-folding. |
|
What is the process of cleavage?
|
Its a process forming many cells from one cell.
Zygote-> 2 cells-> 8 cells ->morula (solid ball)-> blastula (hollow ball)-> early gastrula-> late gastrula |
|
What is a gastrula?
|
Layers of embryonic cells.
|
|
What are the germ layers?
|
Ectoderm.
Endoderm. Mesoderm. |
|
What is a ectoderm?
|
Germ layer.
(The outside layer of cells that's not infolded.) Epidermis, nervous system. |
|
What is a endoderm?
|
Germ layer.
(The outer layer of the infolded layer of cells.) Living of digestive and respiratory system. |
|
What is a diploblastic organism?
|
Have 2 germ layers.
(endoderm and ectoderm?) |
|
What is a mesoderm?
|
Germ layer.
(The inner layer of the infolded layer of cells.) Most internal organs: muscles, skeletal system, heart, stomach. |
|
What is a triploblastic organism?
|
Have 3 germ layers.
|
|
What is an archenteron?
|
Part of gastrula.
Digestive space (gut cavity). |
|
What is a blastopore?
|
Part of gastrula.
Mouth or anus. |
|
What are the types of symmetry?
|
Asymmetrical.
Radially symmetrical. Bilaterally symmetrical. |
|
What is asymmetry?
|
No axis divides body into equal halves.
Ex: sponges. |
|
What is radial symmetry?
|
Along one axis, as long as one cuts through center, body can be divided into equal halves from many angles.
Ex: cnidarians. |
|
What is bilateral symmetry?
|
Single axis divides body into equal halves.
Midsagittal plane (between eyes). Ex: platyhelminthes. |
|
What does the development of a digestive tract enable?
|
Specialization of gut regions.
Sequential food processing. Continuous operation. |
|
How does a complete digestive tract develop?
|
Infolding of gastrula.
First opening: blastopore, digestive cavity or tract in middle, then second opening. |
|
What are the 2 different ways to develop a digestive tract?
|
Protostomes: mouth forms first, and the new opening is the anus.
Deuterostomes: anus forms first, and the new opening is the mouth. |
|
What are protostomes?
|
Protostome animals are either Ecdysozoans or lophotrocozoans.
|
|
What is a Ecdysozoan?
|
Protostome.
Have an external covering secreted by epidermis that must be shed in order to grow. |
|
What is a lophotrocozoan?
|
Protostome.
Either a lophopore (ciliated feeding/gas exchange structure) or a trocophore (a ciliated free-living larval form) |
|
What are the 3 types of body plans for a protostome?
|
1. acoelomate
2. pseudocoelomate 3. coelomate |
|
What is a acoelomate?
|
A type of body plan for a protostome animal.
No coelom, solid except for digestive space. |
|
What is a pseudocoelomate?
|
A type of body plan for a protostome animal.
False coelom, and the mesoderm lines the outside of coelom. Ex: Nematoda. |
|
What is a coelomate?
|
A type of body plan for a protostome animal.
Mesoderm lines the entire cavity as a "peritoneum". Ex: earthworm. |
|
What are the 2 ways to make a coelom?
|
1. schizocoely
2. entercoely |
|
What is schizocoely?
|
One way to make a coelom.
Splitting within the mesoderm. In protostomes. |
|
What is entercoely?
|
One way to make a coelom.
Mesoderm forms pocket from gut. Deuterostomes. |
