Lab 12 phylum Annelida: what two characteristics are the traditional synapomorphies of Annelida?
segmentation and setae
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: what is segmentation and does segmentation lead to in terms of the organism’s body?
- segmentation: a kind of body design that result from radical change in normal development of an animal
- a unique evolutionary feature
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: what are setae?
bundles of filaments made of chitin and protein, usually extends from foot like features
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: what is the autapomorphies for Class Polychaeta and the synapomorphies for the other classes?
- class polychaeta: autapomorphy is parapodia ( foot like structures )
- class Oligochaeta and Hirudinea: clitellum and loss of larvae stage
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: ( class Oligochaeta ) what are the clitellum, prostomium, and nephridium used for?
- clitellum: produces cocoon for enclosing eggs
-prostomium: a wedge near the head that allows earthworms to burrow - nephridium: allow for excretion of fluids
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: are these organisms self-fertilizing?
no these organisms are not self-fertilizing
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: how many layers of muscle can you see?
there are 2 layers of muscle
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: What is hirudin and how do leeches use it?
- hirudin is an enzyme that acts like an anti-coagulant, essentially making prey’s blood thin and prevent formation of clots
Lab 12 phylum Annelida: what are the three classes seen in phylum Annelida?
- class Oligochaeta
-class polychaeta - class Hirudinea
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: what is their outer covering called?
the outer covering is called the exoskeleton
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: what are the four synapomorphies of all arthropods?
-exoskeleton
-joint limbs
- tagmata
- compound eye
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: what are the four subphyla in Phylum Arthropoda? what are examples of each?
- subphylum trilobita: trilobite ( extinct since 250 million yr ago)
- subphylum Chelicerata: scorpions and spiders
- subphylum crustacea: crabs
- subphylum uniramia: beetles and centipede
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: What are the autapomorphies of each Subphylum?
- subphylum trilobita: unique three lobed dorsal surface and now extinct
- subphylum Chelicerata: have chelicera and no mandible ( fang like apparatus )
- subphylum crustacea: distinct larval stage called nauplius
- subphylum uniramia: uniramous ( unbranched legs)
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: identify the different subphyla – what characteristics do each have?
- subphylum trilobita: extinct, were very large up to 2 ft long
- subphylum Chelicerata: no mandible but have chelicera ( fang like apparatus)
- subphylum crustacea: 2 pairs of antennae and have mandibles
- subphylum uniramia: unbranched appendages
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: (Subphylum Trilobita ) how long ago were trilobite species living?
250 million years ago
Lab 13 Phylum Arthropoda: (Subphylum Crustacea ) what class does the crayfish belong to?
class Pycnogonida
