Q

How do we distinguish animals and fungi if both are heterotrophic?

A

Animals ingest their food and digest it internally via enzymatic activity; fungi secrete digestive enzymes to breakdown food and then absorb it

Q

Adult

A

reproductively mature stage

20
Q

Stages of reproduction and development

A
  1. Sperm fertilizes egg to form diploid zygote
  2. Zygote undergoes cleavage to form blastula
  3. Blastula undergoes gastrulation forming gastrula
21
Q

Homeobox genes (Hox genes)

A

Regulatory genes found in most animals and only animals (not sponges). Regulate development of body form (anterior-posterior axis)

22
Q

A mutation of the HoxD13 gene

A

Synpolydactyly

23
Q

When did the common ancestor of all living animals likely live?

A

about 770 mya

24
Q

A group of protists that are likely the closest living relatives to animals

A

choanoflagellates

25
Q

HOw many living animal species are there to date?

A

1.3 million - for more are estimated to exist

26
Q

What evidence shows that the common ancestor of all animals may have resembled modern choanoflagellates?

A
  1. the origin of multicellularity requires the evoltion of new ways for cells to attach and communicate to each other
  2. Choanoflagellates and animals have sequence similarities in genes involved in adherence and attachment
27
Q

What specific gene coding for a group of proteins do both choanoflagellates and animals have?

A

cadherins

28
Q

What do a nimals have that choanoflagellates don’t?

A

the CCD domain (novel cadherin protein domain)

29
Q

Neoproterozoic Era

A

(1bya - 542 mya)

  • ediacaran biota
  • evidence of predation
30
Q

Ediacaran biota

A

soft bodied multicellular eukaryotes

31
Q

soft bodied multicellular eukaryotes

A

Ediacaran biota

32
Q

First generally accepted macroscopic fossils of animals

A

Ediacaran biota

33
Q

Palezoic Era

A

(542-251 mya)

  • cambrian explosion
  • animal diversity continues to increase
34
Q

Cambrian explosion

A

marks the earliest fossil appearance of many major groups of living animals

35
Q

Most fossils from the Cambrian explosion are…

A

bilaterians

  1. bilaterally smmetric
  2. complete digestive tract
  3. one-way digestive system
36
Q

What caused the Cambrian Explosion?

A
  1. new predatory-prey relationships
  2. rise in atmospheric oxygen (enabled animals with higher metabolic rates and larger body sizes to thrive)
  3. evoltuion of Hox gene
37
Q

New predatory-prey relationships that caused the Cambrian Explosion

A
  1. Predators evolved novel traits for catching prey
  2. Prey evolved new defenses (protective shells)
    - (decline in soft bodied Ediacaran biota)
38
Q

How does animal diversit continue to increase through Paleozoic

A
  1. Arthropods are first animals to transition to land

2. vertebrates colonize land

39
Q

Mesozoic Era

A

(251-65.5 mya)

  1. coral reefs emerged
  2. ancestors of plesiosaurs were reptiles that returned to the water
  3. dinosaurs
  4. first mammals
  5. angiosperm radiation
40
Q

Cenozoic Era

A

(65. 5 mya - present)
- rise of mammals
- first primates appear in Africa

41
Q

The beginning of cenozoic era followed…

A

mass extinctions of terrestrial and marine animals

42
Q

What is considered when categorizing animals?

A
  1. Symmetry (or lack thereof)
  2. Tissues
  3. Body Cavity
  4. Embronic Development
43
Q

Symmetry

A
  1. asymmetrical
  2. radial symmetry
  3. bilateral symmetry
44
Q

Radial animals

A

often sessile or planktonic (drifting or weakly swimming)

45
Q

What is bilateral symmetry accompanied by?

A

cephalization

46
Q

cephalization

A

concentration of sense organs and nervous control at the anterior end of the body (head and brain/ganglia)
