Lesson 3 Flashcards
1
Q
- series of progressive changes in an individual from it’s beginning to maturity
- specialization occurs as a hierarchy of developmental “decisions”
A
Development
2
Q
- the theory that involves a tiny human in a sperm
A
Humoculus
3
Q
- Many eggs release a chemical molecule that attracts sperm of the same species to the egg
A
Contact and Recognition Between Egg and Sperm
4
Q
- Thin membrane above the egg plasma membrane
A
vitelline envelope
5
Q
- Fertilization cone forms where the sperm contacts the vitelline membrane
- Sperm head drawn in and fuses with egg plasma membrane
- Important changes in the egg surface block entrance to any additional sperm
A
Prevention of Polyspermy
6
Q
- the entry of more than one sperm
A
Polyspermy
7
Q
- used to block out other sperm
A
Fast block
8
Q
- the name for a fertilized egg
A
Zygote
9
Q
- embryo divides repeatedly
A
Cleavage
10
Q
- large cytoplasmic mass gets converted into small maneuverable cells
- No cell growth occurs, only subdivision until cells reach regular somatic cell size
A
Blastomeres
11
Q
- Zygote has been divided into many hundreds or thousands of cells
A
Blastula
12
Q
Cleavage Types
A
Holoblastic
Meroblastic
13
Q
- Cleavage extends entire length of egg
– Egg does not contain a lot of yolk, so cleavage occurs throughout egg
A
Holoblastic
14
Q
- cells divide at the top of the yolk
- too much yolk, can’t divide
A
Meroblastic
15
Q
Egg Types and Cleavage
A
Isolecithal
Mesolecithal
Telocithal
16
Q
– Very little yolk, evenly distibuted
– Use Holoblastic cleavage
A
Isolecithal
17
Q
– Moderate yolk
– Use Holoblastic
A
Mesolecithal
18
Q
– Have an abundance of yolk
– Use Meroblastic cleavage
A
Telocithal
19
Q
- cleavage creates a cluster of cells called the blastula
- During the blastula stage, the first germ layer forms
– Cells are arranged around a fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoel
A
Blastulation
20
Q
- Results in the formation of a second germ layer
- Involves an invagination of one side of blastula
– Forms a new internal cavity called the gastrocoel - creates an opening into the cavity: Blastopore
A
Gastrulation
21
Q
2 layers of the gastrula
A
Ectoderm and Endoderm
22
Q
- ## The only opening into embryonic gut
A
Blastopore
23
Q
- Some animals retain the blind gut
- the opening does not fully extend to other side
A
Flatworms, sea anemones
24
Q
- in which the opening extends and produces a second opening, the anus
A
Complete gut
