Q

clade that animals belong to

A

opisthokonts (like fungi)

22
Q

closest relatives to animals

A

choanoflagellata: similar feeding cell type; analysis of DNA sequence data

23
Q

neoproterozoic era

A

era in which animals arise

24
Q

ediacaran biota

A

earliest large animal fossils

25
Q

cambrian explosion

A

appearance in the fossil record of most animal phyla

26
Q

bilaterians

A

most of the fossils from the cambrian explosion; bilaterally symmetric form with complete digestive tract

27
Q

mesozoic era

A

age of dinosaurs; bounce back of animals after extinction

28
Q

end-cretaceous extinction

A

wiped our dinosaurs and other groups

29
Q

cenozoic era

A

modern era; diversification of large mammals

30
Q

animal body plans

A

specific and conserved; development under control of Hox genes. 3 aspects: symmetry, tissue organization, and body cavities

31
Q

sponge symmetry

A

asymmetrical

32
Q

sea anemone symmetry

A

radially symmetrical

33
Q

symmetry of most animals

A

bilateral symmetry; dorsal, ventral, anterior, posterior

34
Q

cephalization

A

having a front end (head); typical of animals that move under own power

35
Q

coelom

A

fluid-filled body cavity

36
Q

coelomates

A

body cavity lined with mesoderm

37
Q

pseudocoelmates

A

not completely lined with mesoderm

38
Q

acoelomates

A

lack a body cavity

39
Q

hydrostatic skeleton

A

fluid-filled body cavity serves as a hydrostatic skeleton to antagonize muscles

40
Q

protosomes

A

solid masses of mesoderm form; expand to filled blastocoel. determinate spiral cleavage; blastopore becomes the mouth

41
Q

deuterostomes

A

mesoderm buds off endoderm of archenteron; indeterminate radial cleavage; blastopore becomes anus

42
Q

5 important points about relationships among living animals

A
  1. share a common ancestor
  2. sponges are sister group to all other animals
  3. eumetazoa is a clade of animals with tissue (all except sponges)
  4. most animal phyla belong to the bilateria clade
  5. 3 major clades of bilaterian animals: deuterostomia, ecdysozoa, lophotrochozoa
43
Q

deuterostomia diversity

A

invertebrates or vertebrates; includes hemichordates, echinoderms, and chordates

44
Q

ecdysozoa

A

all invertebrates; includes nematodes and arthropods; secrete an exoskeleton for growth (ecdysis)

45
Q

lophotrochozoa

A

all invertebrates; named for features: lophophore and trochophore larvae

46
Q

lophophore

A

crown of ciliated tentacles used for feeding; ie. ectoprocts

47
Q

trochophore larva

A

developmental stage; ie. mollusks and annelids

48
Q

porifera

A

sponges

49
Q

cnidaria

A

jellyfish, sea anemones, coral

50
Q

bilateria

A

animals with bilateral body symmetry
