1
Q
Animals are…
A
Heterotrophic, multicellular, and have tissues
2
Q
What are tissues?
A
Layers of cells that act as a functional unit
3
Q
During cleavage there is rapid ____ but no ____
A
division; cell growth
4
Q
There is no cell growth during cleavage because…
A
The cells are dividing so quickly that there is no time for the cell to grow
5
Q
Steps of creating and embryonic layer
A
Zygote –> cleavage –> eight cell stage –> cleavage –> blastula –> gastrulation (becomes a gastrula)
6
Q
Blastocoel
A
The hallow inside of a blastula

A
When the embryo folds inward, expands and fills in the blastocoel. Germ layers form through gastrulation.

51
Sedentaria
clade of annelidea that is less mobile and found in soil; examples are leeches and earthworms
52
Leeches
Parasitic; use blade like jaws that secrete anesthetic to numb humans when they suck their blood; they also secrete hirudin which prevents host's blood from solidifying
53
Nematoda
Triploblastic; bilateral symmetry; psuedocoelomates; free-living/parasitic; alimentary canal; undergo ecdysis (molting of their exoskeleton)
54
Arthropoda
Triploblastic; bilateral symmetry; coelomate; hard exoskeleton (chitin), segmented body (head, thorax, abdomen), and joined appendages
55
Three lineages of arthropoda
Chelice rates (spiders, scorpions), myriapods (centi and milipedes), and pancrustaceans (insects)
56
Incomplete metamorphosis
nymphs (young) are smaller, have different body proportions, and lack wings; as they molt, they look more like an adult where their final molt is full size, with wings, and sexually mature
57
Complete metamorphosis
Larval stages are for eating and growing (caterpillar) and the adult (pupal) stage is for reproducing and dispersal; larval stage looks completely different from adult stage
58
Hemichordates
have a notochord, nerve chord, gill slits, and dorsal nerve chord
59
Echinodermata

lobed fins
65
Tetrapods developed ___
limbs with digits
66

amniotic egg
67
Mammals developed ___
milk
68
Cephalochordata
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
Urochordates
Also known as tunicates; chordate characteristics are seen in the larval stage (notochord, nerve cord, and tail)
70
4 characteristics to make a species a chordate
dosal, hollow nerve cord; notochord; post-anal tail; pharyngeal slits/clefts
71
Vertebrates
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
First vertebrae fossil
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
Vertebrates without jaws
hagfish and lampreys
74
Gnathostomes
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
Osteichthyans
Possess lungs (or swim bladders) for breathing
76
ray-finned fish
bony fish with thin fins that aid in swimming; seahorses, lionfish, and eel
77
lobe-finned fish
possess rod-shaped bones surrounded by a thick layer of muscle in the pelvic and pectoral fins; devonian period from 400 mya; coelacanths and lungfish
78
Tetrapods
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
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
Amphibians
Basal tetrapods that have a reproductive environment tied to water; frogs and salamanders
81
Frogs
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
Amniotes
have the amniotic egg that help future generations develop without the presence of water
83
Amniotic Egg Membranes + Functions
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
With these structures, an embryo can...
develop on land in its own private bond which reduces the dependence of tetrapods on an aqueous environment; key innovation for terrestrial life
85
Mammals
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
During the ____ period, first true mammals arose and began to diversify
Jurrasic (200-145 mya)
87
During the ___ period, major mammal lineages appeared: the ____, ____, and ____
Cretaceous (140 mya); monotremes (lay eggs), marsupials (mammals with a pouch), and eutherians (placental mammals)
88
Marsupials
Born before amniotic development is complete; completed during nursing with a maternal pouch
89
embryo development for masrupials and eutherians
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
Convergent evolution with marsupials and eutherians
seen in similar ecological environments around the world
