Q

What are the steps of embryogenesis?

A

Nucleus divides, and migrate to the periphery of the egg, nuclei form one-cell thick layer around the periphery = blastoderm, Blastoderm goes thorugh regional differentiation forms germ anlage region of columnar cells, Grastrulation envagination of the germ anlage develops into germ band, germ band develops into ventral body (migration is called katatrepsis) Segmentation of the ventral body with appendage formation, Dorsal Closure, Grows over yolk and fuses dorsal and lateral body develop.

22
Q

What is the pharate condition?

A

The period in between apolysis and ecdysis

23
Q

What is an instar?

A

Growth stage of immature between two successive moults

24
Q

What is a Stadium?

A

The time between 2 successive moults (length of instar)

25
Q

What is an imago?

A

The adult stage of the insect

26
Q

What part of the cuticle is sclerotized?

A

The exocuticle

27
Q

How many steps are in the moulting process?

A

14

28
Q

What are the initial steps of ecdysis?

A

The insect becomes quiet, the Corpora Cardiaca releases PTTH which triggers the prothoracic glands to release ecdysone which stimulates cell division in epidermis.

29
Q

What happens in moulting after ecdysone is released?

A

Stimulates cell divisions in epidermis, epidermis separates from old cuticle, space between old cuticle and epidermis is called the exuvial space, epidermis fills the exuvial space with inactive moulting gel, Epidermis begins to secrete new epicuticle.

30
Q

What is in moulting gel?

A

Chitinases, proteinases and aminopeptidases

31
Q

What happens when the new epicuticle is deposited?

A

The new epicuticle stabilizes and the mouting gel is activated to dissolve the old endocuticle recycled for the new procuticle, ecdysis triggering hormone from epitracheal glands, eclosion hormone from neurosecretory cells and Crustacean cardioactive peptides trigger moulting behaviour.

32
Q

What is moulting behaviour?

A

Insect swallows air, contracts abdominal muscles, and forces blood into the head and thorax, causing expansion and collapse

33
Q

What follows moulting behaviour in moulting?

A

Old cuticle breaks at performed lines of weakness and insect crawls out (ecdysis), New cuticle is soft and extensible expands new cuticle to final size, Release of bursicon from neurosecretory cells causes outer part of procuticle to sclerotize forming new exocuticle, wax layer is deposited on new epicuticle, cement layer is deposited on surface endocuticle continues to be deposited during intermoult period.

34
Q

What dictates what stage the insect will go into to?

A

Juvenile hormone suppresses the expression of adult features.

35
Q

When are there spikes in juvenile hormone?

A

There are spikes around the time of ecdysis, spikes get smaller as the insect ages.

36
Q

Which scientist experimentally demonstrated the hormone sequence of insects?

A

Vincent Brian Wigglesworth

37
Q

What are imaginal discs?

A

groups of undifferentiated cells invaginated below the larval epidermis correspond to particular body parts.

38
Q

What is the main role of the imago stage?

A

Reproduction and often dispersal

39
Q

What is the subimago stage?

A

Stage in the ephemeroptera order that is winged without reproductive organs.

40
Q

What does rate of insect development depend on?

A

The quality and amount of food, Seasonal patterns of temperature and rainfall, environmental signals photoperiod

41
Q

What is voltinism?

A

The number of generations of a species in a year?

42
Q

What are the different categories of voltinism?

A

Univoltine (1 a year), Bivoltine (2 a year), Multivoltine (more than 2 a year), Semivoltine (less than 1 a year)

43
Q

What is diapause?

A

Stage of suspended morphological development or suspended reproduction that is genetically controlled and triggered by environmental conditions, can occur at any stage

44
Q

What is diapause used for?

A

winter survival in temperate regions and drought survival in the tropics

45
Q

What environmental cues trigger diapause?

A

Insects have a photosensitive period where they are aware of how long the days run, if the proper conditions are met then they will enter dispause later on.

46
Q

What are the two types of diapause?

A

developmental diapause and reproductive diapause, and obligate diapause and facultative diapause.

47
Q

What is obligate diapause?

A

Diapause that can occur without the need of environmental cues, typical of univoltine insects

48
Q

What is facultative diapause?

A

diapause that is dictated by environmental cues, commmon in divoltine and multivoltine species.

49
Q

What type of stimuli can induce diapause?

A

Photoperiod, Dry season, Lower moisture, temperature and food, once induced it will occur regardless of environmental conditions

50
Q

What is a Long-day insect?

A

an insect that doesnt undergo diapuase under long days

51
Q

What are short-day insects?

A

no diapause under short-days

52
Q

How do insects prepare for diapause?

A

Build up lipid reserves in fat body, reduces watera nd increase glycerol, slight muscles may degenerate, seek out shelter, more wax into epicuticle.

53
Q

What triggers the end of diapause?

A

Return of favourable conditions triggers the end of diapause

54
Q

Which moth has the longest diapause?

A

Yucca moth for up to 30 years
