Exam 1 Flashcards
Ways populations can evolve
Genetic drift
Mutations
Migration and gene flow
Natural selection
Changes in genetic compositions over generations
Microevolution
Small phenotypic change within an isolated population
Better in experimental evolution
Macroevolution
Origin of new species or more complex organisms
Characteristics of animals
Multicellular
Lack cell wall
Heterotrophic
Blastula stage during development
Protosomes
Spiral cleavage
Regulative cleavage
Blastopore becomes mouth
Flatworms, nematodes, arthropods, and annelids
Deuterostomes
Radial cleavage
Mosaic cleavage
Blastopore becomes anus
Echinoderms and chordates
Diploblastic
2 germ layers
Ectoderm and endoderm
Ectoderm
Nervous system, epidermis, sweat glands, nails
Mesoderm
Muscles, bones, connective tissue, genitals
Endoderm
GI tract, respiratory tract, auditory system, urinary tract, pituitary gland
Animals development
Zygote-> morula-> blastula-> gastrula
Archenteron
In animal development
Becomes gut
Blastocoel
In animal development
Many small cells surrounding a fluid filled cavity
Blastopore
In animal development.
Opening of archenteron that becomes anus or mouth
3 R’s for use of animals in research
Reduction
Replacement
Refinement
Sister group
2 taxa on either side of a split with a common ancestor and no descendants
Monophyletic
Group including the most common ancestors and all of its descendants
Paraphyletic
Most common ancestor and some descendants
Polyphyletic
Group of organisms but not their common ancestor
Ruminants
Animals that obtain energy from plant cell walls (fiber)
Stomachs of cows
Rumen and reticulum
Omasum: recycling of water and minerals that return to rumen by saliva
Abomasum: like stomach of other animals
