animal evolution Flashcards
why are shared embryological characters important
for working out relationshisp
gastrulation
formation of gut during embryonic development
process of gastrulation
blastula invaginages to form inner and outer layers of ecoderm and endoderm, and in some cases, mesoderm
zygote to 8 cell stage to blastula to gastrula
blastula
hollow ball of cells that gastrulates to form the ectoderm and endoderm
achenteron
ancient gut cavity
radial celavage example
sea urchins strongylocentrotous purpuratus
spiral cleavage example
maritigrella crozier
cleavages in deuterostomes
radial
cleavages in protostomes
spiral
triploblasts properties
have 3 cell layers (endoderm, ecoderm, mesoderm)
have a through gut
seperate mouth and anus
bilateraially symmetrical (dorsal and ventral)
what does the mesoderm become
muscles blood bone and tissue
triploblasts examples
apes clowfnish slug
diploblasts properties
2 cell layers [endoderm and ecoderm]
blind gut; allows for food and wate to pass through same opening
gadially symmetrical (oral and aboral axis)
what does recent molecular data challenge about triploblasts and diploblasts
1) whether cnidarians only have two tissue layers
2) whether chindarisn are actually radial symmetrical
cnidarians and 2 tissue layer
stienmetz; gut like ectodermal tissue (pharygeal endoderm) present in sea anemon challenges germ layer homology
middle cell layer; maybe differentiate differently but present in both; challenges view that ectoerm is homolougous with animals
cnidarians and radial symmetry
genes show that bottom has different genes than in the top of cnidarians even though they LOOK radially symmetrical
radial symmetry
cleave during which the cleavage planes are either parallel or perpendicular to the vertical axes of the embryo
spiral cleavage
cleave in which the planes of cell deivision are diagonal to the certical axes of the embryoo
TRIPLOBLASTIC VARIATIONS
ACOELOMATE
PSEUDOCEOLOMATE
COELOMATE
acoelomate
meants without
an extoder, without solid mesoderm, endoderm
e.g. flatworms like platyhelminth
pseudocolomate
mesodemr has a cavity
e.g. nematode (fluid filled space)
coelomate
mesoderm has epitlial lined cavaity
e.g. vertebrates and annelids
ecdysis
moutling ot cuticle with growth like in scorpions or priapulid worms
segmentation
repeated units of construciton along anteroposterior axis like annelids
opisthokonts
‘rear facing flagellum’; animals such as fungi, choanoflagallets an dother
the closest clade to animals; include fungi and choanolglatallets
all have posterior flagellum
what to animals and opisthokonts share
an additional amino acid in elongation factor one alpha rpoteins resuting in sperm cell having a posterior flagellem
