Q

describe the animals life cycle
What are the stages that are haploid? Diploid?

A

Diplontic life cycle (majority of the life cycle is diploid)

Haploids are eggs and sperm (goes through meiosis)

Diploid stages: Mitosis
- Zygote, embryo (blastula and gastrula), larva (juvenile), Gamete (adult)

What are the different symmetry’s of animals
provide an example for each

A

Asymmetry = no symmetry
Radial symmetry = evolved first, several planes of symmetry, one axis and the clade is radiata
ex) sea anemone
Bilateral symmetry = devried after, single plane of symmetry, multiple axes or side, clade is bilateria ex) lobster

Q

Define Cephalization

A

Cephalization allows for the brain to have a space to form and allows the nervous system to form thus give rise to complex behaviour

Cephalization involves
* Formation of the head: Central nervous sytem
* With bilateral symmetry: clustering or neurons (ganglia, brains) and sensory organs
* able complex behaviours

Diff types of animals have diff types of CNS

Q

What is the Coelom? What are the three grades?

A

Most tripoblastic animals have a body cavity which is called the coelom (derived form the mesoderm)

Three grades of the coelom
(eu)coelomates: have a body cavity - coelom
psedyocoelomates: have a body cavity that is not derived from the mesoderm - only 2 germ players diploplastic
Acoelomates: lack coelom (no body cavity)

Mesoglea is the gelatinous substance between the endoderm and ectoderm

Two basic body shapes:
1) polyp
2) Medusa

Have Gastrovascular cavity (contracts like a stomach muscle and can breadown food and create a movement for jelly fish = “swimming movement”)

Radial Symmetry

They have unique stinging cells (cnidocytes which are highly venomous) - used for catching food

A

absorb external heat rather than generating heat on their own=

60
Q

Feathered reptiles

A

include birds which are feathered reptiles = adaptation to flight

Have complex behaviours, especially during mating season
feather used for insulation or courtship display
evolved from a linage of smal two legged dinosaurs call therapods

61
