Q

What are the 7 characteristics that all animals have in common?

A
  • multicellular
  • cells without cell walls
  • most are able to move
  • diverse in form
  • occupy diverse habitats
  • most reproduce sexually
  • have a characteristic pattern of embryonic development
  • cells of all animals (except sponges) are organized into tissues and tissue layers
  • heterotrophs

Q

What is radial symmetry?

A
  • body parts arranged around central axis

- can be bisected into two equal halves in any 2-D plane

Q

What is bilateral symmetry?

A
  • right and left halves that are mirror images

- only the mid-sagittal plane bisects the animal into two equal halves

Q

Eumetazoa produce three germ layers. What are they and describe them

A
  1. ) outerectoderm=body coverings and nervous system
  2. ) middle mesoderm=skeleton and muscles
  3. ) inner endoderm=digestive organs and intestines

Q

What is the difference between a protostome and a deuterstome

A
protostome= mouth develops first from blastospore
deauterstome= anus develops first
17
Q

What are 3 differences between Deuterostomes and Protostomes? (not including whether the mouth or anus develops first(

A
  1. ) Cleavage pattern of embryonic cells
    - Protostomes=spiral cleavage; cells “move” as they divide
    - Deuterostomes=radical cleavage; cells stay in place as they divide
  2. ) Developmental fate of cells
    - Protosomes= determinate development; embryonic cels will form specific body regions; remove 1 and development ceases
    - Deuterstomes= indeterminate development; embryonic cells can develop a new individual
  3. ) Origination of the Coelom
    - Protostomes= forms simply and directly from splitting the mesoderm
    - Deuterstomes= forms indirectly from the outpocketing of the archenteron
18
Q

Did Protostomes evolve from Deuterostomes or did Deuterostomes evolve from Protostomes?

A

Deuterostomes evolved from Protostomes more than 500 MYA

19
Q

Animals are divided into two main branches. What are they?

A

Parazoa and Eumetazoa

20
Q

what does triploblastic mean

A

has 3 germ layers

21
Q

what does diploblastic mean

A

has 2 germ layers

22
Q

What are the two hypothesis that try to explain which group of protists are responsible for the animal kingdom

A
  1. ) the multinucleate hypothesis

2. ) the colonial flagellate hypothesis

23
Q

what was the Cambrian explosion?

A
  • enormous expansion of animal diversity in the Cambrian Period (543 to 525 MYA)
  • the Hox developmental gene complex evolved
  • provided a tool that can produce rapid changes in bodt plan
  • most major phyla was born
24
Q

Parazoa consists of only what?

A

Porifera (the sponges)

25
Q

Diploblasts exist in two phylum. What are they?

A

Cnidaria and Ctenophora

26
Q

What are the two major clades of protostomes

A

Spiralians and Ecdydozoans

27
Q

Spiralians

A

grow by adding mass to an existing body; obvious spiral cleavage

28
Q

Ecdysozoans

A

increase in size by molting their external skeletons
