Animal architecture/porifera/cnidocides Flashcards
Metazoans
Multi cellular heterotrohs
Multicellular Heterotrohes
an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
Collagen
Three stranded protein unique to animals
Ropelike fibers strong and flexible, movement still possibly
Diploid/sexual reproduction
Diploid- 2 sets of chromosomes
Diploid parents create diploid offspring
No free living haploid
Homeobox (HOX) genes
Determine position of cells differeny
Control early development
Specific sequence of 180 nucleotides called homeobox
Radial symmetry
Several planes
Bilateral symmetry
One plane
Frontal
Divides into dorsal & ventral halves —
Sagital
Divides into right & left halves |
Transverse
Separates anterior & prosterior portions
Cephalization
Differentiating of the head(nervous) end & back end
Radial cleavage
Parallel or perpendicular to vertical axis (uniform)
Spiral cleavage
Diagonal to vertical line (ball)
Endoderm
Lining of digestive tract; organs
Mesoderm
Muscles, organisms
Ectoderm
Surface cover
Blastopore
the opening of the archenteron to the exterior of the embryo at the gastrula stage.
BlastulA
is a hollow sphere of cells, referred to as blastomeres, surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoele formed during an early stage of embryonic development in animals.
Blastocoel
the fluid-filled central region of a blastula
Gastrulation
Forming of the gut tube (and three germ layers)
