Q
  1. Polyspermy prevention
A

No mote than one

a. Electrical potential change to vitelline membrane
- blocks other sperms fusion=“fast block”
b. Cortical reaction: lifts vitelline envelope away
c. Envelope hardens = fertilisation membrane = “slows block”

Q

Egg cleaves

A

Blastomeres
(It divides to create embryo)

30
Q

Isolecithal (yolk amount and distribution)

A

Sparse, evenly distributed yolk

Example:
Mammals, starfish, insects

Iso= same

31
Q

Mesolecithal (yolk amount and distribution)

A

Moderate amount of yolk at one end

Example:
Amphibians

Meso= middle

32
Q

Telolecithal (yolk amount and distribution)

A

Mostly dense yolk; only a dice of cytoplasm on surface divides

Example: birds, reptiles, egg-laying mammals, fish

Telo= ends

33
Q

Holoblastic

A

While egg cleaved
(yolk slows but does not prevent it)

Example:
Isolecithal and mesolecithal

34
Q

Meroblastic

A

Only cytoplasm cleaved
(yolk too dense to cleave)

Example:
Telolecithial

35
Q

What is life?

A

DNA
Cellular
Complex
Grow and develop
Metabolism
Reproduce
Respond to stimuli
Homeostasis

36
Q

What is an animal?

A

Multicellular heterotroph
Is motile during some point of its life

Embryo development slow/more complete relying on extensive yolk

Example:
egg laying vertebrates (birds, reptiles, egg mammals, fish)

46
Q

Isolecithal & Mesolecithal (significance of yolk amount)

A

placenta nourishes embryo, or egg develops quickly into self-feeding larva
