What kind of reproduction do animals have
Sexual reproduction
gametic meiosis
Gametes by Meiosis (n)
Zygote (2n) by fertilization
Cleavage
when does it happen?
multiple mitositc cell divison without cell growth
after zygote forms
Gastrulation
result?
one end of embryo fold inward and expands
embryonic tissues
3 types of embryonic tissues
Extoderm (outer)
Mesoderm (middle (only seen in bilateral animal)
Endoderm (inner)
5 steps of gametic reproduciotn
- Once there is a zygote, it
undergoes cleavage (multiple
mitotic cell divisions without
cell growth). - Cleavage leads to a
multicellular, embryonic,
hollow cell called a blastula. - Gastrulation occurs next,
where one end of the embryo
folds inward and expands. - Gastrulation results in the
layers of embryonic tissues - The resulting stage is called a
gastrula.
