Bio 23 General Zoology Introduction to Zoology Zoology ▪ ”zoon” (animal) + “logos” (to study) ➞ study of animals and animal kingdom ▪ Branches of zoology: animal group ▪ Branches of zoology: nature of study Characteristics of Animals ▪ Eukaryotic and multicellular ▪ Motile ▪ Heterotroph ▪ Complex tissues structures ▪ Sexual reproduction and development ▪ Body plan 4 Complex tissues ▪ Tissue – group of specialized cells to perform a common function ▪ Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues 5  Fibrous connective tissue Stratified squamous epithelium Bone tissue Blood Skeletal muscle tissue Smooth muscle tissue Cardiac muscle tissue Nervous tissue Sexual reproduction and development ▪ Asexual reproduction - Reproduction without fusion of egg and sperm - Rely on mitosis Binary fission in sea anemone Photo by: Dr. Robert Berdan Budding in hydra (Hydra viridissima) Binary fission in sea anemone Parthenogenesis in bees (Apis mellifera) Sexual reproduction and development ▪ Sexual reproduction - Haploid cells combine to form diploid cell (zygote) - Produce offspring unidentical to parent  Variation in Patterns of Sexual Reproduction ▪ Hermaphrodism - Organism possesses both male and female reproductive systems - Each animal receives sperm during mating - e.g. mating in snails Photo by: Kazuki Kimura ▪ Sex Determination: Genetics ▪ Sex Determination: Environment Temperature-dependent sex determination in reptiles Body plan ▪ Asymmetrical – no patterns or symmetry ▪ Radial symmetry – longitudinal orientation ▪ Bilateral symmetry – vertical plane cut along an animals front to back Classification Features of Animals ▪ Body plan ▪ Embryonic development: □ Layers of tissue □ Presence or absence of coelom □ Fate of blastopore 18 Layers of tissue ▪ Diploblasts – endoderm and ectoderm ▪ Triploblast – endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm Presence or Absence of Coelom ▪ Coelom – internal body cavity derived from mesoderm Fate of the blastopore ▪ Blastopore - indentation formed during gastrulation ▪ Protostomes – “mouth first” ▪ Deuterostomes – “mouth second” (anus develops first) References: ▪ Books & book chapters Fowler, S., Roush, R., & Wise, J.
