Q

Amniotic Egg

A
  • Defined by embryonic development in a multi-membrane egg
  • Chorion forms the Outer membrane (ancestral), Encloses the yolk, amnion, allantois, & embryo
  • Amnion Inner-most membrane surrounding the embryo

Q

Sensory systems in sharks

A

-1)Vision:Sharks have good vision, even at low light levels.
2)Chemoreception: Sharks are highly sensitive to smell. Differences in smell between the left and right nares provide information about the direction of a smell’s source.
3)Electroreception: Ampullae of Lorenzini are small organs that are found on the shark’s rostrum. These detect electrical fields, including those given off by the muscle activity of potential prey.
4)Lateral line system: Clusters of specialized cells allow sharks (and other fish) to detect vibrations and pressure gradients in the water. This helps them to detect the movement of prey.

133

139
Q

Fin Fold theory

A

the paired limbs are derived from the local persistence of parts of a continuous fold that in ancestral vertebrates passed along each side of the trunk and fused behind the anus into a single fin.
