Cards

Term
deuterostomes
Definition
anus forms first, adults have very diverse forms, divided body plans due to developmental genes
Term
Echinodermata
Definition
pentaradial symmetry
Term
pentaradial symmetry
Definition
bilaterally symmetrical
five different ways.
There are five planes of
bilateral symmetry
Term
Echinoderm larvae
Definition
Echinoderm larvae are bilaterally
symmetrical and have an anterior
and posterior orientation
Term
early tool kit genes of echinodermata
Definition
aligns the body
in an antero-posterior orientation, anus
homologous gene that is found
in protostomes, too, and acts in the
first stages of their development
Term
sea star
Definition
The soft organs and skeleton of each
“arm” are arranged in serial segments.
Each arm shows metamerism, just
like in the bodies of all protostomes
and other deuterostomes
Term
Yunnanozoa
Definition
early cambrian fossil that displays metamerism, gill slits, and dorsal ray fins
Term
plates of echinoderms
Definition
made of
calcium carbonate
(calcite mineral) that are
covered by dermis
Term
sea urchins
Definition
have skeletal structures
(spines) that come
into contact with
the environment
Term
water vascular system of echinodermata
Definition
Water enters through the
madreporite and muscles create
hydrostatic pressure to extend the
tube feet for feeding, locomotion,
and gas exchange
Term
sea cucumbers
Definition
appear motionless and
somewhat amorphous, but their system of
tube-feet are indeed pentaradially
symmetrical
Term
special ability of sea cucumbers
Definition
have lost exoskeleton, so they can explode internal organs and then regenerate lost organs
Term
tool kit gene system unique to echinoderms
Definition
only organism in which there is a 5 fold duplication of tool kit genes
Term
shared derived characteristics of chordata
Definition
notochord
pharyngeal gill slits
dorsal hollow nerve cord
Term
defining characteristic of CHORDATES
Definition
dorsal hollow nerve chord
Term
hemichordates
Definition
difficult to place
taxonomically. Their larvae are similar to echinoderms, but their adults have gill slits like other chordates, no dhnc or notochord
Term
sub P. urochordata
Definition
tunic larva show all the
chordate characteristics, but their
adults are radically different from
the generalized chordates
Term
Sub P. Cephalachordata
Definition
lancelets, follow generalized chordate body plan, burrow in sand, release water via the atriopore, most closely related to vertebrata
Term
atriopore
Definition
where lancelets let water out
Term
differences between cephalochrodate and vertebrata
Definition
lancelets lack embryoinic tissue layer and complex nervous system
Term
characteristics of vertebrata
Definition
All the chordate characters plus:
neural crest
vertebral columncartilage, bone and dentine
Term
neural crest
Definition
developed from the ectoderm, cells responsible for jaws, teeth tissue, skull
Term
mesoderm in vertebrata
Definition
dominant in verts, bulk of embryo
Term
do birds have teeth?
Definition
no, since they descend from organims without teeth
Term
Teeth in birds
Definition
are a symplesiomorphy
shared with reptiles
Term
Feathers (as synapomorphy or seimplesiopmorphy)
Definition
Feathers are a
synapomorphy of all living birds
Term
what happens when bird embryos get mouse teeth genes?
Definition
Bird embryos receiving implanted neural crest
cells from mouse donors develop teeth inside their
mouth
Term
dentine
Definition
forms teeth, and
fish scales, it is a vertebrate
synapomorphy
Term
Ostracoderms
Definition
Ostracoderms were the earliest vertebrates. Their fossils are
known from the Cambrian and Ordovician
Ostracoderm fossils from the Ordovician reveal that dentine
is the oldest vertebrate hard tissue
Term
amniota
Definition
reptiles, birds, mammals, it is a synapomorphy of terrestrial life
