makes their own food/energy
-
tissue
collection of specialized cells segreagated or separate from the rest of the body
-
larva
sexually immature form of the animal, may look different from adult or not, feeds differently, and will undergo metamorphosis, morphologically distinct from adult
-
metamorphosis
larva goes from sexually immature to juvenile stage, not quite adult still sexually immature
-
Hox genes
regulatory genes that control the expression (transcription) of other genes during embryonic development
-
ectoderm
outside layer of cells will form skin of the animal or central nervous system
-

"inside" ; digestive tract, digestive tract starts outside the body, ex: the mouth is outside in the world when you open it and put something in thats from outside the body, line digestive tract; liver and lungs or vertebrates
-
zoic
suffix that refers to the study of geology
-
neoprotero
"neoprotero" end of proterozoic era

-
-
-
-
-
cephalization
concentration of nervous system (i.e. the brain) at anterior ( in the front of the animal)
-
mesoderm
found in muscles and all other organisms, fills space between the ectoderm and endoderm
-
diploblastic
two germ layers of tissue
-
triploblastic
three germ layers of tissue
-
coelom
fluid filled or air filled cavities, houses organs, found between digestive tract and body wall, suspends organs away from body wall (doesn't interfere with growth) , provides cushioning and protects organs from injury
-
true coelom
cavities found within the mesoderm
-
coelomates
animals with a coelom in the mesoderm
-
pseudocelomate
coeolom is located between the endoderm and mesoderm
-
acoelomate
still has organs but no suspension because they are within the tissue, no cavities
-
germ layer
concentric layers, form various tissues and organs of the body
-
protostome
- 1: spiral cleavage
- (first mouth or mouth forms first) ; if you draw a vertical axis , the cells are offset and aligned diagonally ( sprial cleavage) , each cell's fate has already been determined,
- 2: coelom formation
- coelom formation is split in the mesoderm between the endoderm and ectoderm,
- 3: fate blastopore
- blastopore forms mouth, then anus
-
spiral cleavage
planes of cell divison are diagonal to the vertical axis of the embryo, smaller cells are centered over the grooves between larger , underlying cells
-
grade
group whose members share key biological features
-
clade
a group that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendants
-
deuterostome
- 1: radial cleavage
- (mouth forms second) cells are on top of each other ( radial cleavage) symmetrical if the axis drawn vertically and horizontally, devolops as a whole organism because its cells are not fixed or determined
- 2: coelom formation
- coelom formed in mesoderm
- 3: fate of blastospore
- anus formed first, then mouth
-
determinate cleavage
fate of each cell is " fixed" , each piece (cell) is part of a whole, you take away one part and its not complete anymore
-
indeterminate cleavage
cell fate not yet fixed, cells haven't been gived instructions so blastula will continue to grow as a whole
-
phylogeny
the development or evolution of a particular group of organisms
-
morphology
the branch of biology dealing with the form and structure of organisms, the form and structure of an organism considered as a whole
-
eumetazoa
true animal, ( eu means true and zoa means animal)
-
cleavage
succession of mitotic cell divisions without cell growth between divisions
-
blastula
hollow ball of cells
-
gastrulation
layers of embryonic tissue develop into adult body parts
-
gastrula
product of gastrulation
-
eidacaran biota
a group of soft-bodied multicellular eukaryotes found in the hills of Ediacara in Australia, 1st evidence of multicellular animals
-
cambrian explosion
dramatic increase in animal diversity, one of the most important events to happen on earth, about 1/2 of extant life descends from hear
- 4 theories:
- -predator prey relationships
- -increased oxygen
- -evolution of Hox genes
- -all of the above
-
blastopore
indentation during gasturlation leads to the formation of the archentron
-
Paleozoic Era
542-251 million years ago
- -Cambrian Explosion
- - post cambrian:
- +mass extinctions
- +fish dominanted
- +460 mya land colonization occured
- +360 mya two main groups survive today amphibians and amniotes ( reptiles and animals)
- +millipedes and centipedes on land
- +ferns created galls in response to insects
-
3 lines of evidence
1: DNA sequencing, choanoflagellates are the closest to humans on the phylogentic tree and share genes exclusively found in animals
2: Choanoflagellates and collar cells are almost indistiquishable, because they look so similar, a single cell organism (choanoflagellate) resembles one single collar cell
3: Similar cell are found in jellies, sea stars ( non-vertabretes , no fungi or plants) , similar collar cells found in choanoflagellates are found in jellies, sea stars ( no plants or fungi)
-
Neoproterozoic era
1000-542 mya or 1- .542 bya
- -fossil evidence of animals found
- -earliest you can go back with fossil evidence
- -increase in animal diversity
- -ediacaran biota: earliest evidence of animals
-
mesozoic era
251 to 65.5 mya
- - no new diversity
- -niche specialization
- -some reptiles returned to aquatic habitats
- -wings and flight have evolved in certain creatures
- -large and small dinosaurs on earth
- -first mammals
- -dramatic diversification of flowering plants and insects
(between mesozoic and cenazoic dinosaurs went extinct)
-
cenozoic era
65.5 mya to present
- -mass extinctions
- -large mammals are found to replace dinosaurs
-
symmetry
been around for 550 my, able to cut in half and have a mirror image
-
Shared agreement: morphology and DNA analysis
- -all animals are monophyletic ( share a common ancestor)
- -sponges are basal animals
- -eumetazoa is a clade with true tissue
- -most animals are bilaterian ( belong to bilateria clade)
- -chordates=deuterostomia, ( belong to clade of deuterostomia)
-
What about difference between morphology and DNA anylysis?
- 1: how ( method used ) can result in different data
- 2: who is right? ( in approach)
- 3: moleular genetics ( which genes? ) want the most accurate picture/data
-
ecdysozoans
- chracteristic shared by nematodes, anthropods
- - these animals secrete external skeletons ( exoskeletons)
-
ecdysis
- process of shedding the old exoskeleton
- -clade name suggests common ancestory by molecular data
-
lophotrochozoans
refers to two different features found in this clade: lophophore and trochophore larva
-
lophopore
- a structure ( from the Greek lophos, crest and pherein to carry)
- -a crown of ciliated tentacles that fuction in feeding
-
trochophore larva
distinctive developmental stage mollucs and annelids go through
