Lesson 3: Principles of Development Flashcards
A series of progressive changes in an individual from its beginning to maturity.
Development
Development begins when a fertilized egg divides _________.
mitotically
Specialization occurs as a __________.
hierarchy of developmental “decisions”
Many eggs release a ____________ that attracts sperm of the same species.
chemical molecule
Fertilization Process of Sea Urchins
- Contact and Recognition Between Egg and Sperm.
- Sea urchin sperm penetrate a jelly layer surrounding egg.
- Contacts the vitelline envelope
- Egg-recognition protein binds to species-specific sperm receptors on the vitelline envelope.
Thin membrane above the egg plasma membrane
Vitelline Envelope
It ensure that an egg recognizes only sperm of the same species
Egg-recognition protein
Species-specific sperm receptors
Stages of Development
GFC GOG
Gamete formation
Fertilization
Cleavage
Gastrulation
Organogenesis
Growth
It is where sperm and egg form, mature
Gamete Formation
Fusion of egg and sperm
Fertilization
It is where the embryo divides repeatedly
Cleavage
What do you call when body organs form, cells interact, differentiate
Organogenesis
What do you call when organs increase in size, and adult body form obtained.
Growth
The entry of more than one sperm
Polyspermy
Preventions of Polyspermy
- Fertilization cone forms where the sperm contacts the vitelline membrane
- The cortical reaction follows
- Creates an osmotic gradient
- Elevates the envelope
In the sea urchin, an electrical potential rapidly spreads across the membrane called ________.
fast block
A fusion of thousands of enzyme-rich cortical granules with the egg membrane
Cortical Reaction
It is called ____________ when water rushes into space
Osmotic Gradient
After sperm and egg membranes fuse, sperm loses its ________.
flagellum
Fusion of male and female nuclei forms a ____________.
diploid zygote nucleus
Fertilized egg is called a ____________.
zygote
Large cytoplasmic mass converted into small maneuverable cells
Blastomeres
Cleavage crates a cluster of cells called
Blastula
Cleavage Types
Holoblastic
Meroblastic
A type of cleavage where cells divide sitting on top of yolk.
(Too much yolk and yolk can’t divide)
Examples are ________,________,______
Meroblastic
birds, reptiles, fish
