Deuterostomes Flashcards
what are the shared derived characteristics in the deuterostome clade?
- radial, indeterminate cleavage
- coelom from archentron
- blastospore -> anus
describe Phylum Echinodermata
- “spiny skins”
- sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sand dollar
- often 5-part symmetry
- endoskeleton (internal CaCO3)
what is the SDT for Echinodermata?
Water Vascular System
- network of fluid-filled canals
- feeding, gas exchange, movement
SDTs for Phylum Chordata
- Notochord
- Dorsal, hallow nerve cord
- Post-anal tail
- Pharyngeal slit/cleft
Basal Chordate (s)
Lancelet (Cephalochordate) and Tunicates (Urochordates)
- invertebrates
- marine suspension feeders
- 1 Hox cluster
what are the SDTs for Vertebrates
- bone or cartilage vertebrate that replaced notochord
- 2 + Hox clusters (result of complete genome duplication and increased genetic complexity - > more complex body plan)
- chordate character more evident in embryo
Basal Vertebrate (s)
Jawless Fish
- hagfish, lamprey
- cartilage
Gnathostome characteristic
Jaw-mouth
SDTs for Gnathostome
- hinged jaw
- bony skeleton
- 4 Hox Clusters - more complexity (from another genome duplication)
Basal Gnathostome (s)
Chondricthyes - cartilaginous fish (bone only in teeth and fin tails)
- ancestor had bone all over body
- DERIVED TRAIT of LOSING most bone
describe Osteichthyes
“bone fish”
named for ancestral bony skeleton - Calcium Phosphate
DT for Osteichthyes
Swim bladder (homologous with lungs)
Basal Osteichthyes
Actinoptyergii - ray-finned fish
SDTs for Lobe-Fins
Muscular fins/limbs for locomotion (includes all terrestrial vertebrates)
Basal Lobe-Fins
Actinisitia - coelcanths
Dipnoi - lungfish (lungs and gills)
