Chapter 32: Animal Diversity Summary Flashcards
Groups of similar cells that act as functional unit
Tissues
Multicellular eukaryotes
Animals
A succession of cell division without growth between divisions
Cleavage
Cleavage lads to formation of a _________, often in the room of a hollow ball of cells
Blastula
The blastula undergoes ___________; forming a gastrula
Gastrulation
Formed during gastrulation with different layers of embryonic tissues
Gastrula
Is sexually immature and morphologically and behaviorally distinct from the adult stage
Larva
After this process, larvae become juvenile that resemble adults but are sexually immature
Metamorphosis
Unique family of regulatory genes of animals
Hox genes
Bilaterally symmetrical form
Bilaterians
Complete digestive tract
Bilaterians
Efficient digestive system with a mouth and anus at opposite ends
Bilaterians
Often sessile or planktonic (drifting or weakly swimming)
Radial symmetry
Lack symmetry
Sponges
Move actively and have a CNS
Bilateral animals
Body parts arranged around a single central axis
Radial symmetry
Imaginary slice through the central axis divides the animal into mirror images
Radial symmetry
Body parts are arranged around 2 axes of orientation (head-tail and dorsal-ventral)
Bilateral symmetry
Only 1 imaginary slice divides the animal into mirror image halves, right and left side
Bilateral symmetry
Covers the body’s surface
Ectoderm
Outer covering and CNS
Ectoderm
