Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Evolution

  2. I. Animal traits • A. Heterotrophic • B. Mobile • C. Lack cell walls • D. Possess nerve and striated muscle

  3. D. Reproduces sexually • 1. Diploid generation dominant • 2. Often has larval form • 3. Displays metamorphosis

  4. E. Common embryology • 1. cleavage • 2. blastula • 3. gastrulation • 4. germ layers

  5. F. Homeotic genes • 1. genes that control development • 2. control placement and location of appendages

  6. Mutations in homeotic genes can cause huge changes in a single generation

  7. II. Monophyletic origin • A. Colonial choanocyte • B. Flagella with microvilli collar around the flagella • C. No division of labor

  8. D. Possible mode of evolution

  9. III. Grades of Evolutionary Tree

  10. A. Major branches of the phylogenetic tree are called grades • 1. The grade is like a fork in the road that represents a major anatomical change that opens up new possibilties • 2. Once a lineage begins down a grade, it once was thought of as an irreversible path-male passing down a road • 3. Now with new tools of discovery-DNA sequencing some of older pathways are now being reconsidered • 4. We will stay with the older story for the time being

  11. B. First bifurcation-cellular vs. tissue specialization • 1. sponges possess cellular specialization but not true tissues • 2. sponges are referred to as parametazoans-kind of animal-like • 3. second branch represents eumetazoans-true animals • 4. the eumetazoans possess two qualities that are more animal-like than the sponges • a. true tissue level specializations • b. symmetry

  12. C. Types of symmetry-radial vs. bilateral • 1. definitions • 2. body planes • 3. dorsal vs. ventral • 4. cephalad vs. caudad • 5. anterior vs. posterior

  13. 6. Radial symmetry • a. no cephalization • b. adapted for sessile existence • c. either drifts or stays attached to a surface • d. nothing sneaks up on it • e. these organisms are diploblastic

  14. 7. Bilateral symmetry • a. in addition to a top and a bottom-dorsal and ventral surface • b. there is an anterior and a posterior end of the animal • c. cephalization • d. there is also a longitudinal nerve cord that runs toward the posterior end of the animal • e. these animals concentrate their sense organs at the end of the animal that meets the world • f. tend to be active and highly mobil • g. triploblastic

  15. D. Development of a coelom • 1. definition • 2. functions

  16. 3. Flatworms (platyhelminthes) are acoelomate

  17. 4. Roundworms have a pseudocoelom

  18. 5. Higher bilateria have a true coelom

  19. E. Protostome vs. deuterostome lineages • 1. protostomes-molluscs, annelids, and the arthropods • 2. deuterostomes-echinoderms and chordates

  20. Early animal development terms • Cleavage

  21. Blastula

  22. Gastrulation

  23. 3. Differences between the two • a. cleavage • b. coelom formation • c. fate of blastopore
