Cards

Term
what are the two ways in which gametes form?
Definition
oogenesis and spermatogenesis
Term
If animals do not practice internal fertilization, what ways do they fertilize?
Definition
externally (specifically external spawning)
Term
During oogenesis, what does not occur?
Definition
mitosis
Term
During oogenesis, at what stage is cell division arrested?
Definition
prophase I until monthly mestration
Term
Name different ways that animals reproduce?
Definition
hemaphroditism parthenogenesis
Term
When the sperm approaches the egg, what events occur?
Definition
the egg protective layers form and acrosome function starts
Term
When the plasma membranes of the sperm and egg fuse, what events occur?
Definition
fast and slow blocks to polyspermy, and egg activiation (the great awakening)
Term
During cleavage, describe the major event that is happening?
Definition
rapid cell division of the zygote via mitosis
Term
what is polyspermy?
Definition
multiple sperms enter an egg
Term
True or false, polyspermy occurs in animal development.
Definition
False, it is incompatible.
Term
What are Cdks?
Definition
they are cyclin-dependent kinases. They belong to a group o protein kinases that play a role in transcription and mRNA processing.
Term
what are some factors that block polyspermy?
Definition
1)Na flushes in to change polarity
2)Ca 2+ is released which causes separation from plasma membrane
3)sperm receptors are released
Term
What is the "fast-block" and the "slow-block"?
Definition
Fast: Na flushes in and changes polarity of cell
Slow: sperm receptors are released from plasma membrane
Term
What type of germ layer give rise to the gut?
Definition
endoderm
Term
what type of germ layer give rise to the skin?
Definition
ectoderm
Term
what type of germ layer gives rise to the coelom?
Definition
mesoderm
Term
During what phase does the morphology of the embryo dramatically change?
Definition
gastrulation
Term
What follows gastrulation?
Definition
organogenesis
Term
What is a blastomere?
Definition
divided cells that occur after the egg is fertilized.
Term
What surrounds the blastocoel during early development?
Definition
blastula
Term
In early development, the central fluid filled cavity is called:
Definition
the blastocoel
Term
Partial cleavage is referred as:
Definition
meroblastic
Term
total or entire cleavage is referred to as:
Definition
holoblastic
Term
What ends when the blastula is formed?
Definition
cleavage
Term
The pole with the highest concentration of yolk is referred to as the:
Definition
vegetative pole
Term
What is the opposite pole of the yolk called (the one with less concentration of yolk)?
Definition
the animal pole
Term
What is the result of uneven cytokinesis?
Definition
polar body
Term
What is referred to as "The Great Awakening"?
Definition
Ca +2 starts transcription of mom's mRNA
Term
In a sea urchin, what invaginates to form the endoderma nd the archenteron?
Definition
The vegetative pole
Term
Is there asymmetrical or symmetrical yolk distribution in amphibians?
Definition
asymmetrical
Term
During the embryonic stages of development, what is the opening of the archenteron called?
Definition
the blastopore
Term
what regulates cleavage?
Definition
cyclins and Cdks
Term
Urinary schistomiasis causes what problems in humans?
Definition
Blood in the urine, potential bladder cancer, or kidney problems.
Term
Intestinal schistosomiasis causes what problems in humans?
Definition
diarrhea, fatigue, abdominal pain, blood in stool/feces, and complications in the liver and spleen.
Term
Taeniasis is caused by?
Definition
uncooked pork(pigs) or beef(cows)
Term
Pseudocoelomates?
Definition
nematoda(roundworms), hookworms, roundworms, heartworms, and Caenorhabditis elegans(good nematode)
Term
What condition does the heartworm cause in dogs?
Definition
Dirofilariasis
Term
What is a secondary concern of Dirofilariasis?
Definition
Wolbachia
Term
Which of the Coelomic protostomes have no radula?
Definition
Bivalves
Term
How do the Bivalves feed?
Definition
water is drawn via inhalant siphon, food and oxygen taken up in the gill, then water discharged via exhalent siphon.
