Ecology/ Evolution

animal evolution vocab

QuestionAnswer
Six characteristics that define an animal 1. multicellular, heterotrophic 2. usually use sexual reproduction 3. no cell walls 4. motile for at least part of life 5. rapid response to external stimuli 6. diploid is dominant ploidy
blastocoel cavity inside blastula
gastrula fold in blastula due to gastrulation
blastopore opening to pouch/archenteron
archenteron internal cavity of gastrula
ectoderm outer germ layer becomes skin and nervous tissue
endoderm inner germ layer becomes digestive tract
mesoderm middle germ layer becomes muscles and internal organs. primitive animals dont have this
lines of evidence that animals evolved from chanoflagellates (colonial protists) 1. similarity in cells of choanoflagellates and sponges 2. choanocytes identified in other animal phyla but not in protists 3. DNA
Edicarian x
Cambrian Explosion which phyla appeared (5) Echinoderms, chordates, porifera, cnidaria, arthropoda. Hard bodies evolved in response to predation.
define cephalization concentration of neurons in one region
Which is the only diploblastic phylum? Cnidarians
Coelom body cavity for development of internal organs. it is lined by mesoderm
pseudocolomates body cavity but it is lined only on one side by mesoderm
name two pseudocoelomate phyla rotifera and nematoda
Protostome: type of cleavage? determinate or indeterminate growth? fate of blastopore? spiral, determinate, blastopore becomes mouth
Deuterostome: type of cleavage? determinate or indeterminate growth? fate of blastopore? radial cleavage, indeterminate, blastopore becomes anus
Points of agreement in animal systematics: (5) 1. all animals share a common colonial flagellate (choanoflagellate) ancestor 2. sponges are basal (the lowest form) 3. emetazoa - clade includes all animals with true tissues 4. most animals are bilateral 5. deuterostomia
Bilateral animals split into three groups: deuterostomia, lophotrochozoa, echydsozoa
Define Lophotrochozoa have either a lophophore (apical tuft of feeding cilia) or larval stage called a trochophore
Define Ecydsozoa external skeletons that shed as they grow
