Lecture 18/19 Flashcards
Collagen?
Structural proteins that hold both cells and bodies
What are two defining characteristics of animals?
Nervous tissue and muscle tissue
Chemoheterotrophic?
Obtain food from chemical, but cannot produce their own carbon based food (consumes other organisms)
Sexual reproduction?
Motile haploid sperm fuses with large non-motile haploid egg to make diploid zygote
Cleavage?
Mitotic cell divisions in diploid zygote
Cleavage leads to?
Formation of hollow blastula (multicellular)
Blastula undergoes?
gastrulation
Gastrulation?
The forming of a gastrula with different embryonic layers.
Protostomes?
Spiral cleavage
Determinate
Determinate?
New cell is destined to form parts in later embryo
Deuterostomes?
Radial cleavage
Indeterminate
Indeterminate?
Early cells not differentiated
Protostomia?
First part of gastrula becomes mouth
Deuterostomia?
First part of gastrula becomes anus
Homeobox?
Highly conserved nucleotide sequence
