Lab 7: Invertebrate Diversity Flashcards
Modern __________ organizes life in a hierarchy based on available evidence for shared ancestry.
Systematics
The hierarchy is composed of groups that reflect __________ degrees of similarity.
Increasing
The hierarchy is composed of these groups:
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
A name created by combining both an organism’s genus and species group.
Binomial
The Kingdom Animalia is also known as the __________.
Metazoa
The Kingdom Animalia is a __________ group.
Monophyletic
A long history of systematic work based on morphology and developmental traits has been used to build a __________.
Phylogeny
More recently, molecular research has been used to build a phylogeny of the __________.
Metazoa
A body plan w/o a body cavity.
Acoelomate
What are the three germ layers in order?
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
A large phylum composed of segmented worms, where some organs repeat in segments. Includes earthworms, leeches, polychaete worms, and other groups.
Annelida
The most diverse phylum, >80% of described living species. All members have jointed appendages, an exoskeleton, and a segmented body. (Examples: spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs,crabs, crayfish, insects, centipedes, millipedes, lobsters, shrimp, etc.)
Arthropoda
An organism with a left and right side. There is only one way to cut these organisms in half and obtain two matching halves.
Bilateral symmetry
Rod adjacent to the nerve cord.
Notochord
A phylum of about 44,000 species, all of which share a notochord and pharyngeal gill slits at some developmental stage. They also share a hollow dorsal never cord and post-anal tail.
Chordata
A diploblastic phylum of >9,000 aquatic species, all distinguished by stinging cells. Includes jellyfish, Hydra, anemones, and corals.
Cnidaria
Stinging cells.
Cnidocytes
A body plan with a membrane-lined body cavity, permitting more organization than the other two body plans.
Coelomate
A mode of development of the digestive system during which the mouth forms second (anus first).
Deuterostomia
Tissues derived from two embryonic layers: ectoderm and endoderm.
Diploblastic
Organisms that molt.
Ecdysozoa
