what does the dominant organism produce?
flagellated sperm/sessile eggs
the gametes fuse, do mitosis to form a blastocyst.. what is a blastocyst
hollow ball of cells
what does the blastocyst do to form 3 tissue layers?
gastrulation
what do some life cycles contain?
larval stage
what are the 3 types of symmetry?
- none
- radial
- bilateral
what are the 3 types of tissues?
- none
- diploblastic
- triploblastic
what are the 2 tissues in diploblastic organisms and what do they form?
endoderm- gut
ectoderm- skin
what are the 3 tissues in triploblastic and what do they form?
endoderm- digestive organs
mesoderm- muscles
ectoderm- skin/nerves
what are the 3 types of body cavities? (ONLY IN TRIPLOBLASTS)
- acoelomates
- pseudocoelomates
- coelomates
what are acoelomates?
no fluid-filled body cavities
what are pseudocoelomates?
cavity between endoderm and mesoderm
endoderm floats freely in cavity
what are coelomates?
body cavity with completely lined mesoderm
what are the two types of development in coelomates?
- protostomes
