earliest animals are most easily defined by ____ and ____
body plan symmetry; embryo development
three types of animal symmetry
asymmetry, radial symmetry, and bilateral symmetry
this type of symmetry has no dividing planes/axis
asymmetry
this type of symmetry has no anterior/posterior ends and is divided along multiple planes
radial symmetry
this type of symmetry is divided along a single plane
bilateral symmetry
animals with radial symmetry have an ____ end and an ____ end
oral; aboral
the area of a radially symmetric animal where the mouth can be found
oral
the area of a radially symmetric animal opposite of the mouth
aboral
bilaterally symmetric animals have a ____ and ____, ____ and ____, ____ and ____, and _____ and ____
front;back, top;bottom, anterior;posterior, dorsal;ventral
the head end of a bilaterally symmetric animal
anterior
the tail end of a bilaterally symmetric animal
posterior
the backside of a bilaterally symmetric animal
dorsal
the front side of a bilaterally symmetric animal
ventral
the earliest animals had a(n) ____ symmetry
asymmetric
____ symmetry was the second to evolve
radial
nearly all extant animals have ____ symmetry
bilateral
an egg that has been fertilized by a sperm
zygote
cell division without growth
cleavage
Phyla ____ and ____ lack a distinct cleavage pattern
Porifera; Cnidaria
most bilateral animals divide in ____ or ____ cleavage
radial; spiral
cleavage planes are symmetrical to polar axis and produce tiers of cells on top of each other forming identical blastomeres that could each form a complete embryo
radial cleavage
cells cleave at an angle to polar axis and cleave asymmetrically, producing small cells on top of large (nonidentical blastomeres could not individually form a complete embryo)
spiral cleavage
