2 General Features of Animals Heterotrophy - obtain energy and organic molecules by ingesting other organisms Multicellularity - Many have complex bodies No cell walls - They lack rigid cell walls and are usually flexible Active movement - Move more rapidly and in more complex ways (motility) Diversity of form - Vary greatly in form, ranging in size from organisms too small to see with the unaided eye to enormous (shape and size) ANIMAL DIVERSITY AND THE EVOLUTION OF BODY PLANS Chapter 33 1 2 3 4 Evolution of the Animal Body Plan Diversity of habitat - Grouped into 35–40 phyla, most that occur only in the sea but many occur in fresh water and on land Sexual reproduction - Most animals reproduce sexually. Animal eggs, which are nonmobile. Embryonic development - Zygote first undergoes a series of mitotic divisions that produces a ball of cells Tissues - Cells of most animals are organized into structural and functional units called tissues (development) Five key transitions can be noted in animal evolution 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 3 Symmetry Tissues Body cavity Patterns of Development Segmentation 4 5 6 1. Evolution of symmetry Sponges also lack any definite symmetry ̶ Eumetazoa have a symmetry defined along an imaginary axis drawn through the animal’s body ̶ Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Cephalization 8 Radial Symmetry Comparison of Two main types of symmetryradial and bilateral Radial symmetry symmetry Body parts arranged around central axis ̶ Can be bisected into two equal halves in any 2-D plane ̶ 2. Evolution of tissues a. ̶ 5 Body has right and left halves that are mirror images Only the sagittal plane bisects the animal into two equal halves Parazoa (Sponges – the simplest animals) lack defined tissues and organs ̶ Bilateral Symmetry Top Dorsal Sagittal plane Back Have the ability to disaggregate and aggregate their cells Posterior Bilateral symmetry ̶ Evolution of a definite brain area ̶ 2. Greater mobility Frontal plane Front Anterior Ventral b. ̶ Transverse plane Bottom Eumetazoa (all other animals) have distinct and welldefined tissues ̶ Have irreversible differentiation for most cell types 6 1 7 3. Evolution of a body cavity ̶ Eumetazoa produce three germ layers ̶ Outer ectoderm (body coverings and nervous system) ̶ Middle mesoderm (skeleton and muscles) ̶ Inner endoderm (digestive organs and intestines) 8 The body cavity made possible the development of advanced organ systems ̶ Coelomates developed a circulatory system to flow nutrients and remove wastes ̶ Open circulatory system: blood passes from vessels into sinuses, mixes with body fluids, and reenters the vessels ̶ Closed circulatory system: blood moves continuously through vessels that are separated from body fluids ̶ Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Evolution of different patterns of development Mesodermally derived tissue Pseudocoelom -The basic Bilaterian pattern of development: - Mitotic cell divisions of the egg form a hollow ball of cells, called the blastula - Blastula indents to form a two-layer-thick ball with: Coelomate Ectodermally derived tissue Endodermally derived tissue Digestive cavity Annelid Mesodermally derived tissue Coelom - Blastopore = Opening to outside - Archenteron = Primitive body cavity 7 8 9 Bilaterians can be divided into two groups: Fate of Embryonic Cells Four-cell embryo Anus (if present) develops either from blastopore or another region of embryo Deuterostomes develop the anus first from the blastopore Mouth develops later from another region of the embryo Spiralian Protostomes Protostomes develop the mouth first from or near the blastopore ̶ Blastopore becomes mouth Formation of Coelom Archenteron Cell excised Mouth Top view Mesoderm Development arrested Spiral cleavage Deuterostomes differ from protostomes in three other fundamental embryological features: Fate of Blastopore Determinate development Axis Side view Four-cell embryo 1.

Evolution of segmentation - Segmentation provides two advantages 1. Allows redundant organ systems in adults such as occurs in the annelids 2. Allows for more efficient and flexible movement because each segment can move independently Segmentation appeared several times in the evolution of animals 11 Multicellular animals, or metazoans, are traditionally divided into 36 or so distinct phyla based on shared anatomy and embryology Metazoans are divided into two main branches: Parazoa = Lack symmetry and tissues Eumetazoa = Have symmetry and tissues - Diploblastic = Have two germ layers - Triploblastic = Have three germ layers 12 2 13 13 14 14 15 15 16 16 17 18 Current Phylogeny Most new phylogenies agree on two revolutionary features: 1. Separation of annelids and arthropods into different clades 2. Division of the protostome group into Ecdysozoa and Spiralia The traditional animal phylogeny is being reevaluated using molecular data Animal phylogeny developed from morphological, molecular, life history, and other types of relevant data 17 Some parts of this phylogeny are not firmly established New studies are constantly appearing, often with somewhat different conclusions Key morphological characters used in traditional classification are not necessarily conservative Molecular systematics uses unique sequences within certain genes to identify clusters of related groups ̶ The latter is then broken down into Lophotrochozoa and Platyzoa 18 3 31 Porifera Parazoa Animals lacking tissues (and therefore organs) and a definite symmetry 7000 marine species; 150 freshwater species Among the most abundant 20 animals in the deep Modern Phylogeny Parazoa Acoelomorpha Platyhelminthes Bryozoa Brachiopoda Cycliophora Micrognathozoa Rotifera Parazoa 32 Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

In general, in species having both polyp and medusa in the life cycle, the medusa forms gametes Symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) photosynthesize and provide nutrients to reef coral Coral reefs economically important Sexes separate Gonochorism – individual is either male or female Zygote develops into planktonic planula Metamorphosis into polyp Polyp produces medusae or other polyps asexually 2. Cubozoa Box jellies Strong swimmers, voracious fish Major evolutionary innovation in cnidarians is extracellular digestion of food inside the animal predators Stings may be fatal to humans Digestion takes place partly in gastrovascular cavity Cells then engulf fragments by phagocytosis 27 Anthozoa Sea anemones, most corals, sea fans Solitary and colonial polyps Both phases consist of diploid individuals 28 29 30 Phylum Ctenophora Hydrozoa 3.
