5 - Animal Development Flashcards
This early concept assumes that the adult structure is in egg/sperm and the complete structures increase in size
Preformation
Early concept that states that fertilized egg contains only the building materials
Epigenesis
What are the two kinds of cell fate specification
Cytoplasmic location/autonomous specification
Induction/Regulative specification
Series of progressive changes in an individual from its beginning to maturity
Development
This is the tip of sperm cells head?
Acrosome
The phenomenon wherein egg cells have the ability to release chemotactic molecules that attract sperm cells of the same species
Chemotaxis
The tip of sperm cell releases enzymes which will digest a part of the membrane of the egg cell then sperm will inject the nucleus to combine with nucleus of egg cell
acrosome reaction
Specification when morphogens are secreted in cytoplasm which will undergo specialization/differentiation
Cytoplasmic Localization
Ability to secrete their morphogens and once these morphogens are released, other cells are influenced to go under differentiation
Induction/Regulative specification
Part of egg cell that prevents other sperms to enter
Jelly coat
Do the nucleus of the egg/sperm have haploid or diploid number of chromosomes?
Haploid
How is polyspermy prevented
Cortical granules release proteins (hyalin) then protein will solidify contents
Permanent barrier is formed
Barrier formed to prevent polyspermy
Fertilization envelope/membrane
Ball of blastomeres
Morula
Result of cleavage-ing zygote
Blastomeres
Is there cell growth in cleavage?
No
Which pole contains much yolk and little cytoplasm
Vegetal pole
This pole has many cells and small yolk
Animal pole
Why are there more cells in the animal pole?
No substance can interfere, so there are more cells
Egg where
- Yolk is concentrated at vegetal pole
- Cleavage is meroblastic
Telolecithal
Egg where
- much yolk concentrated in center
- cleavage is meroblastic
Centrolecithal
Restricts cleavage to cytoplasmic rim of egg
Superficial cleavage
Egg where
- Moderate amounts of yolk concentrated in vegetal pole
- Complete holoblastic cleavage
Mesolecithal
Egg where
- Very little yolk distributed evenly in cytoplasm
- Holoblastic cleavage
Isolecithal
