taxonomy
naming of species
systematics
organization
Phylogenetic tree expresses _______
relatedness
nodes on tree=
common ancestor
what type of gene transfer do bacteria have
horizontal
homologous
feature came from a common ancestor with the same feature
homoplastic
similar to one another but not from a common ancestor
birds vs. butterflies
homoplastic
bat and bird wings
homoplastic
convergent evolution
2 different species evolve in same conditions and the pressures of the environment cause them to develop similar traits
how did homoplastic traits come about?
convergent evolution
plesiomorphies
ancestral character; features present in ancestral species and remain present in ALL groups descended
synapormorphies
derived character; novel traits evolved when 2 populations become separated and evolve independently.
originate in recent common ancestor and present in all descendants
homologous macromolecules
subunit sequence (and functionally) similar in two different types of organisms
monophyletic group
common ancestor and all its descendants
shared derived characters
sister taxa share most recent common ancestor
paraphyletic group
common ancestor and some but not all descendants
shares ancestral character
polyphyletic group
evolutionary lines that do not share same recent common ancestor
unnatural grouping misrepresents evolutionary relationships
outgroup
taxon that branched off earlier than other taxa (ingroup).
closest relative of group being studied.
choanoflagelletes
one cells
most closely related to animals/multicellular organisms
8 characteristics of animals
- multicellular eukaryotes
- heterotrophs (get energy from consuming others)
- specialized body cells
- diverse body plans
- capable of locomotion at some time during their life cycle
- most have a nervous system and muscle systems that enable them to respond rapidly to environment
- most are diploid and reproduce sexually with large immobile eggs and small, flagellate sperm
- go through a period of embryonic development
radial symmetry
general form of wheel and similar structures regularly arranged as spokes from a central axis
biradial symmetry
parts of body have become specialized so that 2 planes can divide the body into similar halves
bilateral symmetry
divided through only one plane (which passes through midline of the body) to produce roughly equivalent right and left halves that are mirror images
dorsal
back
asymmetrical animals
sponges
fiddler crab
flounder
ventral
front
anterior
towards head (cephalic)
posterior
towards tail (caudal)
medial
towards midline
lateral
away from midline
inferior
below
superior
above
sections of body
- frontal (coronal)
- transverse (cross section)
- sagital (down middle)
- obligue (diagonal)
cleavage
early in development with fertilization of egg
division of cells without increasing mass ratio
ends with formation of blastula
spiral cleavage
dividing around axis in spiral form
protostomes
radial cleavage
cells stacked with upper cells centered above lower
deuterostomes
determinate cleavage
cells fate is determined early on
protostomes
each cell produced cannot develop into complete embryo
indeterminate cleavage
cells’ fate not determined yet and can become anything
original cell divides and 2 resulting cells can be separated and independently form a whole organism
germ layers
- endoderm
- Mesoderm
- ectoderm
acoelomates
no body cavity
flatworms and ribbon worms
true coelomates
body cavity completely lined with mesoderm
pseudocoelomates
body cavity not completely lined with mesoderm invertebrates lacks vascular blood system lacks skeleton no segmentation body wall microscopic parasites and free-living
protostomes vs. deuterostomes
Protostomes: 1. spiral cleavage 2. determinate 3. blastopore develops into mouth 4. schizocoel-coelom develops from 2 independent regions of mesoderm
Deuterostomes: 1. radial cleavage 2. Indeterminate 3. blastopore becomes the anus 4. enterocoel-coelom develops from pouch off a common region of mesoderm
types of acoelomates
cnidarians
ctenophores
platyhelminthes
nemertea
coelomate types
nemertea annelida tardigrada arthopoda mollusca brachiopoda echinodermata hemichordata chordata
2 clades of protostomes
- lophotrochozoa- flatworms, ribbon worms, mollusks, annelids, and lophophorate phyla. Lophophore=ciliated ring of tentacles around mouth that is a feeding organ
- ecdysozoa- molting (ecdysis); nematodes and antrhopods
