Flashcards BioLab Chapter 5
What was the earliest division within the eumetazoan clade? What synapomorphies distinguished these clades?
The Radiata and Bilateria Clades. Radiata are radially symmetric and Bilateria are bilaterally symmetric.
Which animals belond to the Radiata clade?
Hydra, anemone (both in Cnidaria clade) and Ctenophore clade.
What synapomorphy distinguishes Bilateria from Radiate
A mesoderm
What clades make up Bilaterians?
Protosome & Deuterostomes
What synapomorphies distinguish Protostomes from Deuterostomes
Protostomes: 1) Blastopore becomes mouth first, 2) spiral cleavage cell division pattern in embryo, 3) determinate cleavage in embryo. Deuterostome: Blastapore becomes anus first, 2) radial cleavage cell division pattern in embryo, 3) cell lineage is indeterminate during embryo development.
What animals belong to Protostome clan?
earthworm, crayfish, squid
What animals belong to Deuterstome clan (in lab)?
sea urchin, sea star (star fish)
What are the distinguishing features of the Chordata Phylum?
1) the notochord - flexible rod that serves as a flexible skeleton; 2) dorsal, hollow nerve cord (forms above the notochord); 3) a muscular tail that extends proteriorly past the anal opening. 4) Pharyngeal slits?
What are distinguishing features of Vertebrates?
Subphylum of Chordata. 1) Presence of hard backbone and cranium. Vertebrates have segmented veterbrae
What veterbrates will be dissected in lab?
Rat & fetal pig
What are examples of invetebrates that belong to Chordata clade?
lancelets and tunicates
What the distinguishing features of the phylum Porifera? Which belong to this group?
Perforated interior wall (sponges)
What are the 7 body components of a Sponge?
1) Spongocoel: Central Cavity, 2) Ostia - small incurrent pores water enters through located in wall of of sponge, 3) Oscula, larger holes water exits through in sponge wall, 4) Porocytes - cells that line ostia, hollow channels that allows water to pass through, 5) Choanocytes - “collar cells” - flagellated cells that create current and filter particles out of water stream, 6) Unorganized, differentiated cells - no tissues, 7) mesoderm comprised of non-cellular material (calcarerous, siliceous) such as spicules that serve as endoskeleton
What are the distinguishing features of the Phylum Cnidaria?
1) Body Plan - Radially symmertric, 2) Gastrovascular cavity, 3) Diploblast (2 true tissue layers) - epidermis and gastrodermis; 3) mouth opening surrounded by tentacles, 4) intermediate body layer called mesoglea, 5) most have 2 2 stages of life cycle, medusa and polyp, 6) simple nerve net - no brain, 7) stinging organelles - nematocysts found in cnidocytes.
What are the Cnidarians we examine in lab?
Hydra and Metridium
What are the body components of the Metridium?
1) Body is stocky column, 2) oral disc 3) ring of tenacles on oral disk, 4) pedal disk at aboral end that animal uses to anchor itself to rock, 5) siphonoglyphs - openings lined with cilia through which water is constantly flowing from oral sisk, 6) gastrovascular cavity 7) pharynx - thick tube inside mouth that leads to gastro. cavity, 8) Septa - walls that subdivide gastro. cav., 9) gonads found within septa walls
