exam 3 Flashcards
Are animals station or can they move?
Some animals are station but are able to move at some time in their life
All animals expect sponges have…
neurons and muscles
Why are scientists racing against time because of extinction?
Better idea to characterize species before extinct to give us better idea of extinction rate
What did animals evolve from and when?
- protist like organisms
- around 900 mya from common ancestor shared with choanoflagellates
What are choanoflagellates?
single-celled organisms that sometimes form colonies
When did first fossils of sponges appear?
700 mya
What is believed to be true about sponges evolving?
believed sponges were first animal to evolve
Why can it be messy trying to sort out animal evolution?
- a lot of animals can loose traits
- animals could seem more primative when they’re not
- ex. people assuming whales are older than they are because they’re in the ocean
When did key innovations for animals arise
Speratic not all at once
What is a key innovation (definition)
- a novel phenotypic trait that allows subsequent radiation and success of a taxonomic group
- radiation is mocing into area and rapidally diversifying to fill different ecology roles or ncihes
Are key innovations, synapmorphies?
- no
- different from synapmorphy
- but synapmorphy can be a key innovation
key innovations that helped animals evolve
- multicellularity
- deep tissue formation
- morphological symmetry
multicellularity
- having bigger more complex bodies because of cells starting to stick together
- allows for different cells to have dif functions
deep tissue formation
- muscle and nervous system start to develop so cells become more specialized
- not every cell has same function
morphological symmetry
- radial
- bilateral
- cephalization
unicellularity protist
everything protist needs to survive is in one cell
colonial flagellate hypothesis
- one by itself
- someone would get stick and form to each other to form these colonies
- unspecialized flagellate cells form a hollow sphere
- specialized reproductive spells form
- (now cells can focus on just reproduction rather than reproduction and protecting cell etc.)
- cells begin to fold in to make tissues
what is tissue?
layers of cells that are all made up of same type of cell
who has different tissues and when do they have them?
Animals can have different tissues during development
During development there are 3 different types of tissues animals can have
- ectoderm
- endoderm
- mesoderm
ectoderm
gives rise to skin and nervous system
endoderm
inside skin gives rise to lining of digestive tract
mesoderm
gives rise to the circulatory system, muscle, and internal structures such as bone and most organs
diploblasts
animals with 2 developmental tissues
