Patterns of Cleavage Flashcards
it is a pattern of cleavage where blastomeres lie directly on top of each other
Radial
in this type of pattern of cleavage blastomeres lie on the junction between lower blastomers due to coiling of internal organs and determine the placement of opercular opening
Spiral
it is a type of spiral pattern cleavage where it turns in clockwise direction, normal and has right sided opening
dextral
what are the two types of spiral pattern of cleavage
dextral (clockwise), and sinistral
spiral pattern of cleavage, for left and right axis
tunicate
kind of spiral pattern of cleavage which is evident in mammals
rotational
type of sinistral under spiral patterns of cleavage
tunicate and rotational
if the spindle fiber is oriented in this way there will be spiral cleavage
sinistral; rotational
it is a pattern of cleavage where the whole part of the embryo divides
Holoblastic
what are the factors that determines whether an organism divides holoblastic or meroblastic
- Yolk (if there is little or none, it is holoblastic)
- Fish (meroblastic)
- Frog (holoblastic; there are always that are bigger)
- sea urchin (holoblastic, radial)
pattern of cleavage in fish
meroblastic
pattern of cleavage in frog
holoblastic
patterns of cleavage in sea urchin
holoblastic, radial
pattern of cleavage where only those carrying nucleus and cytoplasm will divide
Meroblastic
it is a type of meroblastic cleavage pattern where it distinguishes left and right
bilateral
