Q

How do animals reproduce? Diploid/haploid? What process is used? What is produced? How is a zygote formed?

A

usually sexual
usually diplod-dominant
meiosis - produce haploid sperm/egg
fertilization: small flagellated sperm fuses with larger, non-motile egg

16
Q

Define asymmetry

A

no plane of symmetry through body

17
Q

Define radial symmetry

A

any plane through longitudinal axis -> mirror images

18
Q

Define bilateral symmetry. What is it related to?

A

only 1 plane through longitudinal axis -> mirror images
related to cephalization: development of a head with central nervous system and sense organs
- facilitates complex movement

19
Q

Define dorsal, ventral, anterior, posterior

A
dorsal = back/top
ventral = stomach side
anterior = towards head
posterior = towards bottom
20
Q

What are germ layers?

A

concentric layers of embryonic tissue

21
Q

What is:
ectoderm
endoderm
mesoderm

A
ectoderm = outer layer; outer covering, nervous system
endoderm = inner layer; lines digestive tube, other organs (lungs)
mesoderm = middle layer; muscles, skeleton, etc.
22
Q

Describe diploblasts

A

they only have an endoderm and ectoderm

23
Q

Describe triploblasts

A

they have an endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm

24
Q

What is a coelom and what does it apply to?

A

it is a body cavity fluid-filled space between body wall and digestive tube
it only applies to triploblasts

25
Q

What are the types of coelom morphology?

A

coelomate
pseudocoelomate
acoelomate

26
Q

What are the advantages of a coelom?

A

hydrostatic skeleton - support, movement

circulation - no longer need to be flat

27
Q

What are the shared derived traits of animals?

A

multicellular
extracellular matrix
homeobox genes

28
Q

What kind of cleavage is involved in protosome development?

A

spiral, determinate cleavage
spiral - shape of cells
determinate - each cell will become a specific thing

29
Q

What does protosome mean?

A

“first opening”

30
Q

What kind of cleavage is involved in deuterostome development?

A

radial, indeterminate cleavage
radial - cells on top of each other
indeterminate - cells can become anything

31
Q

What does deuterostome mean?

A

“second opening”

32
Q

What does the Cambrian explosion mark in history for us?

A

the first appearance of EXTANT phyla
