Evolutionary Aspects Of The Animal Kingdom Flashcards
Physiology
How various parts of animal work
Anatomy
Scientific study of animal body structures
Colloquial use of the word animal
Non-human animals - but doesn’t satisfy scientific definition
Animal is also known as
Metazoa
Origin of the word animalia
Latin word animalis meaning “having breath” and “having soul”
How many known species are there
1 million
3 areas of diversity
Specs, habitats, characteristics
Monophyletic - animal kingdom
Animal kingdom is monophyleticmeaning all taxa evolved from a single common ancestor
How many phyla are there
Around 35
Clades
Further grouping of phyla that share a common ancestor based on shared characteristics and genetics
Clare examples
Radiate, bilateral,protostomia,deuterostemia
What was the first ever Cade
Radiate
Low level blades vs. High level
Less descriptive factor vs. More
What are the low level blades
Radiate + bilaterja
Higher level Cade
Protostomia + deuterostomia
What does radiate need
Nerves and radial symmetry
What does bilateral need
Nerves and bilateral symmetry
What does protostomia need
Nerves, bilateral symmetry, and schizocoelom
What does deuterostomia need
Nerves, bilateral symmetry,enterocoelom
What was the common ancestor of animalia
Colonial choanoflagellate ancestor
What was the common ancestor of animalia
Colonial choanoflagellate ancestor
What defines an animal.
- Multicellular eukaryotethat lacks cell wall 2. Heterotroph
B. Motile at some time - Reproduces 5. Most have nerve and muscles
What did we evolve from and elaborate
We evolved from a colonial unicellular ancestor during the Precambrian era
When was our common ancestor present
Precambrian era
