Methatheria=
Eutharia=

A

Prototheria=egg laying “o looks like eggs”

Methatheria= embryonic development completed within pouch of mother “m for mother’s pouch”

Eutharia= embryonic development completed within the uterus of the mother “u for uterus”

27

  • amphibia
  • dinosaur
  • birds
28
Q

What trait allows researchers to distinguish between apes and humans

A

humans are bipedal, and apes are quadripedal

29
Q

molecular evidence suggests that homo sapians interbreed with…( )….when they co-occurred outside of africa

A

Homo neanderthalensis

30
Q

Annelida and mollusca are both phyla within the lineage characterised by the pressence of a trochophore larvae.
discuss the characteristics that differ between them ( 5 marks)

A

“SCRMC”

  1. annelida are segmented ,
    - mollusca are not
  2. -annelida have a closed circulatory system
    - mollusca have an open circulatory system both have
    • Annelida breath by diffusion of O2 across their skin surface ( no respiratory system)
      - mollusca have gills or lungs
  4. metanephridia- an excretory gland
    - however annelida have 2 PER segment (1 pair)
    - while mollusca in total only have 2 (1 pair)
  5. both have extreme cephalisation
    - Annelida however have extra ganglia in each segment
    - Mollusca have extra ganglia situated in different parts of the body
31
Q

Discuss the challenges faced by the ancestor to early amphibians when they made the transition from water to land, and their preadaptations which made it possible (5 marks)

A

Challenges:

1) air provides less support for an animal’s body
2) animal exposed to air lose body water by evaporation
3) sensory systems of fishes do not function well in air

preadaptations:

1) strong fins for crawling through muddy bottom
2) strong vertebral column to support body
3) nostrils and olfactory receptors
4) lungs that supplement gill respiration to assist breathing in air

32
Q

Describe the main modifications to the skeletal structure of monkeys/apes that enabled bipedalism in humans and why were these necessary
(5 marks)

A

work from bottom to top:

  1. -stronger knee and ankle joints
  2. -because each leg must alternately carry the full body weight while walking
  3. thigh bones are longer
    • this creates a longer stride which increase the speed at which you are walking
  5. hip bones became shorter and wider (‘think of me I have become shorter and wider”)
  6. -provides more support for the weight of upper body that has to be carried by the legs
  7. lower spine becomes curved, shorter and more stable
  8. -acts as a shock absorber while walking
  9. the spine enters the skull at less of an angle than in monkeys and apes
  10. -increases the stability of the head while walking (keeps it upright)
