Test #3 Flashcards
What are the common features of animals?
- multicellular eukaryotes
- heterotrophs
- tissues
- no cell wall
- sexual reproduction (dominant diploid stage)
- development
- diversity
A zygote divides to form _______.
cleavage
a hollow ball of cells that marks the end of the cleavage stage during early embryonic development in animals
blastula
The succession of rapid cell divisions without significant growth during early embryonic development that converts the zygote to a ball of cells
cleavage
an embryonic stage in animal development encompassing the formation of three layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
gastrula
In animal development, a series of cell and tissue movements in which the blastula-stage embryo unfolds inward, producing a three-layered embryo, the gastrula
gastrulation
the endoderm-lined cavity, formed during gastrulation, that develops into the digestive tract of an animal
archenteron
In a gastrula, the opening of the archenteron that typically develops into the anus in deuterostomes and the mouth in protostomes
blastopore
the outermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; gives rise to the outer covering, and in some phyla, the nervous system, inner ear, and lens of the eye
ectoderm
the innermost of the three primary germ layers in animal embryos; lines the archenteron and gives rise to the liver, pancreas, lungs, and the lining of the digestive tract in species that have these structures
endoderm
A developmental transformation that turns an animal larva into either an adult or an adult-like stage that is not yet sexually mature
metamorphosis
Which group of protists is the phylogenetic sister to metazoa? Why?
choanoflagellates; both have collar cells, they have similar DNA sequences, and they have the same genes for signaling and adhesion proteins
type of symmetry where the organism can be divided into similar halves by passing a plane at any angle along a central axis; no front/back or left/right; ex. sea anemone
radial symmetry
type of symmetry where the organism’s body has right and left halves that are approximate mirror images of each other; dorsal/ventral, right/left, anterior/posterior, cephalization (central nervous system); ex. lobster
bilateral symmetry
What are advantages of bilateral symmetry that contribute to the bilaterians being the most successful animals on earth?
- – move actively from place to place
- – central nervous system enables them to coordinate complex movements involved in crawling, burrowing, flying, or swimming
How many embryonic cell layers does a diploblastic animal have? What are they?
2; ecto and endo
How many embryonic cell layers does a triploblastic animal have? What are they?
3; ecto, end, and meso
the middle primary germ layer in a triploblastic animal embryo; develops into the notochord, the lining of the coelom, muscles, skeleton, gonads, kidneys, and most of the circulatory system in species that have these structures
mesoderm
What are 2 examples of a diploblastic animal?
- cnidarians
2. comb jellies
What are 3 examples of a triploblastic animal?
- flatworms
- arthropods
- vertebrates
animals with a true coelom (body cavity); e.g. earthworm
coelomates
animals with a coelom (body cavity) that is derived from the mesoderm and endoderm; e.g. roundworm
pseudocoelomates
animals that lack a coelom (body cavity); e.g. flatworm
acoelomates
Protostome or deuterostome?
- –spiral, determinate cleavage
- –coelom forms from splits in the mesoderm
- –mouth forms first from blastopore
protostome
