32.1 reproduction and development Flashcards
zygote to larvae
zygote -cleavage blastula -gastrulation gastrula larva
cleavage
a succession of mitotic cell divisions without cell growth between division cycles
-forms the blastula
blastula
hollow ball
gastrulation
layers of embryonic tissue that will develop into adult body parts are produced
(one end of the blastula folds into the blastocoel to make a 2 layer ball)
-makes a gastrula
gastrula
2 layer pouch/ball of cells
blastocoel
the inside of the blastula
archenteron
the inside of the gastrula
the pouch
larva
a sexually immature form of an animal that is morphologically distinct from the adult
metamorphosis
developmental transition that turns a larva into a juvenile
all eukaryotes have genes that regulate the expression of other genes in DNA sequences called
homeoboxes
hox genes
important in the development of animal embryos
