Stages of Early animal development Flashcards
1
Q
metazoan developmental stages… review
A
- gametogenesis
- fertilization
- embryonic period (cleavage, gastrulation, organogenesis)
- fetal period
- growth
- later development
2
Q
Gametogenesis
A
- formation of gametes
- spermatogenesis
- oogenesis
3
Q
four phases of gametogenesis:
A
- extraembryonic origin of germ cells… migration to gonads
- mitosis to increase number of germ cells
- meiosis to reduce chromosome number
- structural and functional maturation
4
Q
Gametogenesis phase 1
A
- germ cells form, migrate to gonads
5
Q
Gametogenesis phase 2 and 3
A
- mitosis to increase germ cells
- meiosis to reduce chromosome number
- SPERMATOGENESIS
- OOGENESIS
6
Q
draw oogenesis diagram, and note the timing of oogenesis
A
–
7
Q
True or false: in females, meiosis not complete until fertilization
A
true
8
Q
Gametogenesis phase 4
A
- structural and functional maturation
9
Q
fertilization accomplishes:
A
- fusion of gametes to form diploid
- egg/metabolic activation and initiation of development
10
Q
steps of fertilization
A
- sperm penetrate follicle cell layer
- attaches to zona pellucida
- acrosomal reaction… degrades pellucida
- fusion of sperm + egg membranes… (membrane depolarize… fast block to polyspermy… Ca2+ wave sweeps across cell
- cortical reaction (zona reaction)…. prevention of polyspermy (slow block)
- metabolic activation of egg
- completely of egg meiosis, formation of pronuclei (M+F) and restoration of mitotic cell cycle
- pronuclei fuse
11
Q
zona pellucida
A
- mass of glycoprotein
- enzymes in acrosome released, digests matrix
12
Q
slow block
A
- enzymes related to acrosomal vesicle fuse to membrane, release contents
13
Q
cleavage
A
- rapid cell division, little or no cell growth between divisions
14
Q
cleavage pattern
A
- different species have different cleavage factors
- deuterostomes: cleavage produces ball of cells with fluid or yolk filled cavity
- completing cleavage = cells have diff identities, symmetry is broken
15
Q
blastomeres
A
- cells that make up blastula
- a cell produced during cleavage of a fertilized egg
16
Q
blastocoel
A
- the fluid-filled cavity of a blastula.
17
Q
morula
A
- a solid ball of cells from which the blastula is formed
18
Q
blastula
A
- embryo at the early stage of development when it is a hollow ball of cells.
