Deutrostomes (Deutro) Flashcards
What are deutrostomes a group of?
Metazoans –> means multicellular animals
What are the phyla that are Metazoa?
- Calcarea and Silicea
- Cnidaria
Protostomia: - Lophotrochozoa
- Ecdysozoa
- Deuterostomia
What are Eumetazoa?
They have 2 germ layers
What are Bilateria?
- Bilateral symmetry
- Have 3 germ layers
What are the 4 ways which Deutrostomes differentiate from Protostomes?
1 - In the way their cells cleave early on
2 - In the way their cells fate is determined
3 - In how they use their blastopore
4 - In the way they form their coelomic activity
How are the members of the Deuterostomes grouped together?
It is revealed bysimilarities in their DNA sequence that reflect evolution from a common ancestor
How does the embryo cleave in a protostome?
Spiral cleavage
How does the embryo cleave in a deutrostome?
Radial cleavage
What is spiral cleavage?
(How the protostome cleaves in a protostome)
The cleavage planes are diagonal to the vertical axis of the embryo
What is radial cleavage?
(How the deutrostome cleaves in a protostome)
Cleavage planes are parallel or perpendicular to the vertical axis of the embryo
What are the protostome embryos like in the second stage?
(Cell fate)
Most are mosaic
What are the deutrostomes embryos like in the second stage?
(Cell fate)
Most are regulative
What does it mean for protostome embryos to be mosaic?
- The developmental fate of every cell is largely PREDETERMINED/restricted
- Cleavages are said to be determinate
What does it mean for deuterostome embryos to be regulative?
- The developmental fate of every cell is NOT yet DETERMINED –> every cell can give rise to a full organism (human identical twins)
- Cell cleavages are said to be indeterminate
How does a blastula develop?
- The dividing cells first form a soling ball of cells, a morula
- Eventually a cavity develops & the ball becomes hollow - a blastula
- Eventually the blastula folds in on itself during gastrulation
What are the stages of progression to form a blastula?
Zygote –> Morula –> Early Blastula –> Late Blastula
What is it called whne the blastula folds in on itself during gastrulation?
It’s called a morphogenis (form-generating) movement
What are the stages of an embryo (or blastula idk) forming in a protostome?
- Spiral cleavage
- Mosaic embryo
- Blastopore becomes mouth, anus forms secondarily
- Coelom forms by splitting (schizocoelous)
What are the stages of an embryo (or blastula idk) forming in a deuterostome?
- Raidal cleavage
- Regulative embryo
- Blastopore becomes anus, mouth forms secondarily
- Coelom forms by outpocketing (enterocoelois)
What is gastrulation?
The blastoder invaginates (it folds in) - forming the blastopore
What forms during gastrulation?
(blastoderm)
The ectodermal (echo-outer), endodermal (endo-inner) and mesodermal (mesos-middle) germ layers
What does the endoderm do during the formation of the blastopore?
Th endoderm lines the inner cavity - the ARCHENTERON
What does the archenteron develop into?
The gut
What is the openeing of the archenteron to the outside called?
This is the blastopore!!
The fate of the blastopore is different in Protostomes and Deuterostomes
