Lesson 1 Flashcards
1
Q
Animals have 4 features
A
- Multicellular
- heterotrophic
-eukaryotes - have tissue that develop from embryonic layers
2
Q
Cleavage
A
- the zygote undergoes a succession of mitotic cell divisions (without cell growth between the divisions)
- leads to the formation of the blastula
3
Q
Blastula
A
-after cleavage- it is a hollow mass structure in the form of a ball
-gastrulation comes after
4
Q
Gastrulation
A
- One end of the embryo folds inwards, expands, and eventually fills the blastocoel, producing layers of embryonic tissues; the ectoderm (outer layer), and the endoderm (inner layer)
- Layers of embryonic tissues that will develop into adult body parts are produced
- Ends with a gastrula
5
Q
larva
A
-A sexually immature form of an animal that is morphologically distinct from the adult
-usually eats different food
- may have a different habitat than the adult, as in the case of the aquatic larva of a mosquito dragonfly
6
Q
Metamorphosis
A
Animal larvae eventually undergo metamorphosis, a developmental transformation that turns the animal into a juvenile that resembles an adult but is not yet sexually mature.
7
Q
What are the 6 stages of early embryonic development in animals?
A
- Cleavage … (eight cell stage)
- Blastula
- Gastrulation
- Gastrula

- Metamorphosis
8
Q
What is the cavity inside the blastula called?
A
blastocoel
9
Q
Cross section of the gastrula
A
- the pouch formed by gastrulation, called the archenteron, opens to the outside via the blastospore
