Study Notes
- Animal diversity is important to understand animal form and function.
- Key characteristics of animals include how they acquire and assimilate food, presence of exclusive molecules and tissues, mode of sexual reproduction, and Hox genes.
- Collagen, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue are exclusive innovations of the animal kingdom.
- Animals reproduce through haploid sperm joining haploid egg to form a diploid zygote that undergoes cleavage and gastrulation.
- Hox genes control gastrulation and organogenesis and are part of a gene family found in all animal phyla except sponges.
- Animals can have radial, bilateral, or no symmetry.
- Cephalization, or clustering of neurons and sense organs, enabled animals to pursue a different kind of life.
- Animals can develop from 2 or 3 embryonic germ layers and have or lack body cavities.1. Different animal phyla have different body plans and characteristics.
- The three types of worms - earthworms, nematodes, and flatworms - have different body structures.
- All animals have specialized cells and tissues that form organs and organ systems.
- Vertebrates have more complex organ systems than invertebrates.
- Animals can be either coelomates or acoelomates.
- Acoelomates, like flatworms, do not have a body cavity.
- Animals can be protostomes or deuterostomes.
- Protostomes have spiral cleavage and deuterostomes have radial cleavage.
- Mesoderm development and the fate of the blastopore during gastrulation differ between protostomes and deuterostomes.
- All animals converge to the gastrula during embryonic development.
