animal development
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the three stages of animal cellular division | cleavage, blastula, gastrula |
| give basics of animal development | a flagellated sperm fertilizes a nonmotile egg forming diploid zygote |
| give the main function of fertilization | to bring the haploid nuclei of sperm and egg together to form a diploid zygote |
| contact of the sperm with the egg's surface initiates | metabolic reactions that trigger embryonic development and prevent polyspermy |
| acrosome | part of sperm/filled with enzymes that allow sperm to penetrate egg barriers |
| sperm centriole | combine with egg centriole to form centromere |
| describe acrosomal reaction | membrane depolarized...fast block to polysmermy. acrosome releases hydrolytic enxymes to eat through jelly layer. actin filament binds to sperm-binding receptors |
| cortical granules | enzyme filed and activated during fertilization |
| vitelline envelope | also called zona pellicuda |
| what are the steps of fertilization | acrosomal reaction -> cortical reaction -> fertilization envelope forms -> egg is activated |
| what happens when the fertilization envelope forms | releases enzymes that target sperm receptors...slow block to polyspermy |
| what happens when the egg is activated | an increase in the rates of cellular respiration and protein synthesis |
| how does the fertilization envelope form? | when sperm enters calcium ions released. cortical granules respond to calcium and fuse with membrane. release contents to exterior. digest exterior membrane so sperm can't bind. water flows betweeen pm and ve to lift away matrix and form envelope |
| what is the zona pellucida | surrounds egg in mammals |
| what does cortical reaction do to zona pellucida | induces changes to act as slow block to polyspermy |
| where are the sperm receptors | follicle cells |
| what does cleavage do? | partitions cytoplasm of one large cell into blastomeres |
| blastomeres | many smaller cells formed by cleavage |
| what are cytoplasmic determinants | contribute to cell differentiation..include non-genetic maternal charac. that influence devlelopment of zygote |
| what are the results of cleavage? | hollow mass of cells, first tissue, first cavity |
| what is the first tissue? | blastoderm |
| what is the first cavity | blastocoel |
| change in size with cleavage? | NO |
| when is the establishment of the axes? | cleavage |
| what are body axes influenced by? | polarity of zygote |
| what determines the polarity of the zygote? | distribution of yolk |
| vegetal pole | most yolk/becomes anterior |
| animal pole | least yolk/becomes posterior |
| gray crescent | opposite point of sperm entry/become dorsal side |
| the two types of cleavage | holoblastic and meroblastic |
| holoblastic cleavage | whole...complete division of egg in species with little or moderate amounts of yolk |
| meroblastic cleavage | partial/incomplete division of egg in species with yolk-rich eggs |
| epiblasts and hypoblasts | areas around blastocoel |
| define gastrulation | rearranges cells of a blastula into a three-layered embryo, gastrula, with primitive gut |
| gastrula | three-layered embryo with primitive ggut |
| mesenchyme cells | migrate into blastocoel during gastrulation...becomes mesoderm |
| blastospore | forms from vegetal plate...forms archenteron |
| vegetal plate | areas of cell that start to change shape and form gastrula |
| describe gastrualation in frog embryo | hollow blastula contains different regions. blastospore forms. cells from eterior moveinside through blastospore. three layers results |
| which adult germ layers are ectoderm derived | nervous system; cornea; epidermis;epithelial lining of mouth and rectum |
| what adult germ layers are mesoderm derived? | skeletal, circulator, lymphatic; muscular;excretory;dermis, lining of body caity |
| what adult germlayers are endoderm derived | interior epithelial lining; liver; thymus |
