Q

sea urchin reproduction explained

A

has external fertilization (male and females will release egg in sea water. The sperm has to find egg in sea water. Easier to study in sea water opposed to inside animal’s body

Q

why are the sperm binding proteins so important?

A

any sperm that wants to fertilize the eggs NEEDS to bind to this

Q

what does the jelly coat do for a sea urchin egg?

A

protects egg that is free floating in water

also attracts same species sperm by releasing chemicals

Q

how do sea urchin sperm find sea urchin eggs in the open water?

A

they swim to higher concentrations of specific chemicals that a sea urchin egg’s jelly coat will release

Q

why is a sea urchin egg so much bigger than a sea urchin sperm?

A

the egg has everything it needs inside itself but the set of chromosomes from the sperm

Q

what is the acrosome reaction and what initiates this?

A

the release of the acrosome enzymes that digest the jelly coat so the sperm can bind to the membrane proteins
sperm arriving initiate this

13
Q

how does the sperm attach to the binding proteins?

A

after acrosome enzymes are relased and jelly coat is gone, acrosome filaments extend into the rod of the sperm, binding the sperm to the protein and initiatinf the fusion of the sperm and egg

16
Q

what protects the egg from poly sperm?

A

cortisol reaction which is triggered by one sperm nucleus entering egg

17
Q

explain the cortisol reaction to block polyspermy

A

cortisol granules release its contents causing the sperm binding proteins to be cleaved off egg
the vitaline layer (now fertilization envelope) lifts off egg and pushes away sperm

18
Q

what is the fertilization envelope?

A

the vitaline layer after the cortisol reaction (when it lifts from egg surface)

19
Q

the process by which the zygote becomes multi cellular embryo?

20
Q

blastomere?

A

smaller and smaller cells as result from rapid division take place after cleavage, skipping G1, G2 phases

21
Q

blastula?

A

multicellular embryo cleavge stage ends with

22
Q

process of mitotic divisions where a blastulat first cleavage the two cells could be expressing different genes
- even though they have same genome, they can be expressing different genes
a begins to increased in size?

A

gastulation

23
Q

explain sizes of blastula, blastomeres, zygote

A

blastula is the same size of zygote. Blastomeres are smaller and small cells that make up the blastula

24
Q

is the blastoceol on the animal pole side or the vegetal pole side?

A

animal pole side

25
fluid filled cavity inside the blastula:
blastocoel
26
how can cells, that have the same genome as the result of multiple divisions, behave differently from each other
at first cleavage the two cells could be expressing different genes - even though they have same genome, they can be expressing different genes
27
the signal molecules that a cell is exposed to that tells the cell when to express certain genes
inductive signals
28
- mmostly rearrangement of sheets of cells. - Production of 3 distinct germ layers setting up basic body plan - setting up 3 body axis
gastrulation
29
the formation of organs
organogenesis
30
relative location of ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
ectoderm: outermost layer mesoderm: middle layer endoderm: inside-most layer
31
most cells in vegetal pole end up as _____ cells
endodermal
32
first part of frog gasturaltion
cells from outside start to push their way to interior, up and in blastocoel as the exterior cells push in, the blastocoel starts to fill up
33
second part of grog gasturlation
the future endodermal and mesodermal cells start to roll ina dn under so now theres the meso and endo dermal layer underneath the ectodermal layer. The ectodermal cells began to spread, covering the sruface the blastocile continues filling.
34
third part of frog gasturlation
cells roll in and under creating archenteron: becomes digestive system
35
new cavity formed in blastocoel during frog gasturlation?
archenteron
36
forth part of frog gasturlation
calls at the animal pole (future endoderm) spread over the surface of the cell
37
how to tell archenteron vs blastocel
blastoceol has zero assess to outside the cell- surrounded by mesoderm and endoderm cells archenteron space- only endoderm cells
38
movement where cells change position relative to each other; converge in one direction, and extend in another
convergent extension
39
: formation of neural tube to form spinal cord. cells are cubed shaped
neurolation go over spinal cord formation in slides
