57
Q

Complete metamorphosis

notochord

limbs with digits

66
Q

Amniotes developed ___

A

amniotic egg

67
Q

Mammals developed ___

A

milk

68
Q

Cephalochordata

A

Most basal chordate; also known as lancelets; have somites (segmented muscles from blocks of mesoderm); lack a full brain (instead they have a nerval cord with a swollen tip–>precursor of the brain)

69
Q

Urochordates

A

Also known as tunicates; chordate characteristics are seen in the larval stage (notochord, nerve cord, and tail)

70
Q

4 characteristics to make a species a chordate

A

dosal, hollow nerve cord; notochord; post-anal tail; pharyngeal slits/clefts

71
Q

Vertebrates

A

Chordate that has skull and backbone; two sets of hox genes and a complete nervous system; haikoulla (eyes and brain) and myilokunmingia (head) are precursors from the cambrian explosion

72
Q

First vertebrae fossil

A

conodonts (500 mya) with mineralized dental tissue and a cartilage as an internal skeleton; body first mineralized in the mouth then incorporated as protective armor

73
Q

Vertebrates without jaws

A

hagfish and lampreys

74
Q

Gnathostomes

A

evolved from the skeletal rods that previously supported the anterior pharyngeal gill slits; gill slits are needed for respiratory gas exchange; now there are four sets of hox genes; lateral line system –> sense vibrations in the water; enlarged brain (better sensory abilities)

75
Q

Osteichthyans

A

Possess lungs (or swim bladders) for breathing

76
Q

A

bony fish with thin fins that aid in swimming; seahorses, lionfish, and eel

78
Q

Tetrapods

A

in place of fins, they have limbs with digits (support weight on land; muscle-generated forces are distributed); head is separated from the body by a neck; adults lack gills (terrestrial)

79
Q

Tiktaalik

Fossil that shows the first tetrapod features present (375 million years ago); neck, ;ribs, fin skeleton, flat skull, eyes on top of the skull; show the transition before limbs with digits

80
Q

Amphibians

A

Basal tetrapods that have a reproductive environment tied to water; frogs and salamanders

81
Q

Frogs

A

At the larval stage, they are tadpoles that share similar characteristics as a fish (gills, lateral line system, long, finned tail); through metamorphosis, gills and lateral line system disappear, the the legs, lungs and digestive system adapt to a carnivores diet

82
Q

Amniotes

A

have the amniotic egg that help future generations develop without the presence of water

83
Q

Amniotic Egg Membranes + Functions

A

Amnion (protect embryo in a fluid filled cushion against mechanical shock); allantois (disposal sac for metabolic waste since there is no water present); chorion (exchanges gases between the embryo and the air as respiration); yolk sac (stockpile of nutrients with additional nutrients in the albumen)

84
Q

With these structures, an embryo can…

A

develop on land in its own private bond which reduces the dependence of tetrapods on an aqueous environment; key innovation for terrestrial life

85
Q

Mammals

A

Mammary glands produce milk for the offspring that is rich in fats, sugars, vitamins and minerals that are key for a nutritious diet; hair and fat are used for thermoregulation; heterodonty suits the diverse diet mammals have

86
Q

During the ____ period, first true mammals arose and began to diversify

A

Jurrasic (200-145 mya)

87
Q

During the ___ period, major mammal lineages appeared: the ____, ____, and ____

A

Cretaceous (140 mya); monotremes (lay eggs), marsupials (mammals with a pouch), and eutherians (placental mammals)

88
Q

Marsupials

A

Born before amniotic development is complete; completed during nursing with a maternal pouch

89
Q

embryo development for masrupials and eutherians

A

embryo develops in the uterus; this is a modification for the amniotic egg membranes because of the placenta that transports the nutrients from the mother to the baby; the placenta is formed with the uterus and the extra-embryonic layers

90
Q

Convergent evolution with marsupials and eutherians

A

seen in similar ecological environments around the world
