Recap from first year - phylogenetic trees & chracterisitcs of organisms, Cnidaria and Ctenophora Flashcards
Week 1
Metabolism
all processes in your body anabolic and catabolic pathways.
Characterisitc of Living Organisms (animals)
1) Metabolism
2) Responsiveness
3) Movement
4) Growth
5) Differentiation
6) Reproduction
7) Respiration
Responsiveness
stimulus to your environment
Movement
ability to to respond to stimuli
Growth
increase in size and complexity
Differentiation
ability to have specialised functions
Reproduction
animals reproduce to from new off spring sexually with gametes and asexually
Respiration
exchange of gases over a surface
Arrangement of Eumetazoa
Cells (protista)
Tissues (diploblastic taxa)
Organ (triploblastic taxa)
Organism (animal)
What are the Basic Classification Levels?
(heirarchy)
All PHYLA are monophyletic
The non-monophyly fall in Classes - some of the classes can be non-monophyletic.
Non-monophyletic = di/paraphyletic or polyphyletic
K1ingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
What is a Sub Species?
Geographically separated species, that evolved over time. Generally the genetics are the same
Eumetazoa recognition of animals
Symmetry (bilateral/ radial)
Body cavity (GVC / Coelomate / acoeleomate / pseudocoelomate)
Protosome or Deutrosome
Germ Layers (2 or 3)
What are the different kinds of animalian Symmetry?
Radial -
Bilateral - mirror image and cephilisation. not all animals here a triploblastic can also be radially symmetrical.
What is a Protostome?
Mouth Forms first
Coelom forms
Spiral cleavage
Polar lobe formation in some
Mollusca, Annelida, Anthropoda
What is a Deuterostome?
Anus forms first
Entrocoel
Radial Cleavage absent
Echinodermata, Chordata
Homology
Traits from a common ancestor
Pleisiomorphy
a primitive character
Synapomorphy
a shared derived character
(usually in phylogenetic tree reconstruction)
What is a character?
Derived from:
* morphology
* anatomy
* ecology
* DNA
* RNA
Apomorphy
a derived character
