Document Summary
Gen bio 116 lecture 5 - unikont diversity ii. Many of these are shared derived traits of all animals (monophyletic group called metazoa) Multicellular - cells are specialized in their functions. Connect, support cells, mostly made of collagen *fig 6. 28. All animals have differentiated cells- specialized function (most have) differentiated tissue: groups of cells with common structure and function. Derived trait of most animals: muscle and nerve tissue - can move and conduct impulses (many have) differentiated organs: specialized structure made up of tissues. Diploid adults via meiosis - produce haploid sperm, egg. Fertilization: small flagellated sperm fuses with larger, non-motile. Cleavage: series of mitotic divisions without growth (m phase, s phase, repeat) Blastulation: cell migration to form a hollow ball. -> blastula: hollow ball of cells around blastocoel (cavity) Zygote --> larva --> adult - e. g. insects. Homeobox genes: code for proteins that regulate expression of developmental genes. Extremely similar to choanocytes of sponges (color flagellates) *fig 32. 3.
