Term
monophyletic
Definition
a group of species evolved from a SINGLE common ancestor
includes ALL the descendants of that ancestor
synonym for clade
[image]
Term
synapamorphy
Definition
a feature that unites the members of a monophyletic group
shared characteristic
Term
plesiomorphies
Definition
found in all taxa w/ in analysis and therefore are not informative in distinguishing relationships
ancestral characteristic
Term
analagous
Definition
same function, but not from a single common ancestor
Term
convergent evolution
Definition
organisms independently evolve similar traits
NOT USEFUL IN DETERMINING EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS
Term
evolutionary reversal
Definition
the loss of a trait

NOT USEFUL IN DETERMINING EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS
Term
homoplasies / homoplastic traits
Definition
features of organisms NOT derived from a common ancestor but from convergence or reversal
Term
polyphyletic
Definition
does not include the common ancestor of all members of the taxon[image]
Term
paraphyletic
Definition
some but NOT ALL descendants of a common ancestor[image]
Term
ancestral vs derived traits
Definition
ancestral: those inherited from distant ancestors
derived: by mutation
Term
phylogeny
Definition
evolutionary development and diversification of a species or group of organisms
Term
homologous
Definition
traits that could change in function or appearance but maintain the same/similar structure
Term
parsimony principle
Definition
the preferred tree showing evolutionary relationships between species, molecules, or other entities is the one that requires the least amount of evolutionary change
Term
fertilized egg to adult
Definition
zygote -> cleavage occurs -> blastula (hollow ball) -> gastrula
Term
diploblastic
Definition
2 embryonic cell layers (ecto & endoderm)
Term
triploblastic
Definition
3 embryonic cell layers (ecto, meso, & endoderm)
Term
embryonic germ layers
Definition
the embryonic cell layers
Term
blastopore
Definition
opening formed by invagination
Term
archentron
Definition
cavity which the blastopore empties into
Term
blastopore
Definition
forms into either the mouth or anus
Term
protostome
Definition
mouth first
Term
deuterostome
Definition
mouth second (anus first)
Term
blastula
Definition
hollow hollow ball of cells
Term
blastocoel
Definition
cavity at the core of the blastula
Term
acoelomate
Definition
no body cavity
Term
coelomate
Definition
body cavity
Term
pseudocoelomate
Definition
partly lined body cavity
Term
morphological characteristics shared by all animals
Definition
Eukaryotes (which means have a nucleus)
Are all multicellular
must obtain food and water
are all Heterotrophs
Have cell membranes; NOT cell walls
Can locomote
Embryonic Development
Term
patterns of embryonic development used to construct phylogenies
Definition
provide evidence of phylogenetic relationships
Term
four key features of animal body plans
Definition
Tissues
Bilateral symmetry
Body cavity
Deuterostome development
Term
tissues
Definition
A large mass of similar cells that make up a part of an organism and perform a specific function
Term
bilateral symmetry
Definition
can be divided in half on a plane and the same on both sides
Term
body cavity
Definition
fluid-filled space in a multicellular organism
Term
deuterostome development
Definition
mouth develops after anus
(some ppl never go past this stage and are just assholes)
Term
epidermis
Definition
outermost layer of skin,for protection
Term
sweat gland
Definition
thermoregulation, reduce body temp
Term
sebaceous gland
Definition
producing and releasing sebum onto the surface of the skin to help moisturize and protect the skin and hair
Term
arrector pili
Definition
goosebumps, causes hair to stand up straight
Term
hair follicle
Definition
sensitive touch receptor
Term
dermis layer
Definition
gives the skin its flexibility and strength
contains nerve endings, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, blood vessels
Term
subcutaneous layer
Definition
keep the body's temperature stable
helps protect the bones and muscles from damage
Term
mucosa
Definition
absorption and secretion
epihthelium and thin connective tissue
Term
submucosa
Definition
layer of dense, irregular connective tissue or loose connective tissue that supports the mucosa
Term
blood vessels
Definition
transport blood throughout the body
Term
serosa
Definition
secrete a lubricating fluid which reduces friction from muscle movement
Term
brunner's glands
Definition
secrete an alkaline fluid composed of mucin, which exerts a physiologic anti-acid function by coating the duodenal epithelium, therefore protecting it from the acid chyme of the stomach
Term
peyers patches
Definition
monitoring intestinal bacteria populations and preventing the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines
