The cleavage pattern of protostomes is
|
spiral
|
|
The cleavage pattern of deuterostomes is
|
radial
|
|
Protostomes have a ________ type of development, in which the fate of embryonic cells is determined very early.
|
determinate
|
|
The coelom and three germ layers are formed during
|
gastrulation.
|
|
In protostomes, the blastopore becomes the
|
mouth.
|
|
In deuterostomes, the blastopore forms the
|
anus.
|
|
The coelom in protostomes is formed by
|
solid masses of mesodermal cells splitting for form the coelom.
|
|
The coelom in deuterostomes is formed by
|
an outpocketing of the archenteron.
|
|
Where are spermatogenic cells located?
|
Seminiferous tubules
|
|
As spermatogenic cells become more mature, they are pushed towards the ______ of the seminiferous tubles.
|
lumen
|
|
Spermatid
|
Immature sperm that lacks a flagella. Found in the lumen of the seminiferous tubule.
|
|
The reproductive cycle of a female rat is called an
|
estrous cycle. Haploid ova are released during ovulation.
|
|
A mature follicle can be identified by the presence of
|
an antrum
|
|
The clear space inside the follicle (other than the antrum) is
|
the zona pellucida
|
|
Order and name of cells outside the zona pellucida
|
granulosa cells are immediately outside the zona pellucida, and theca cells are outside of that
|
|
Theca cells convert estrogen to testosterone and are analagous to
|
leydig cells
|
|
What hormones are secreted by the corpus luteum?
|
Estrogen and Progesterone
|
|
The outside of the sea urchin egg is covered by the
|
jelly coat. Prevents desiccation.
|
|
What does the fast block to polyspermy consist of?
|
Depolarization of the egg cell from a negative to positive membrane potential.
|
|
What is the slow block to polyspermy?
|
Fusion of cortical vesicles, release of vesicular contents into the perivitelline space. Enzymatic hardening of the vitelline membrane. Vitelline membrane becomes the fertilization membrane.
|
|
What color are the animal and vegetal poles?
|
Animal pole is darker
Vegetal pole is white and contains the yolk (heavier) |
|
Cleavage in which the cleavage plane extends entirely through the zygote.
|
Holoblastic
|
|
Cleavage plane does not extend entirely through the zygote
|
Meroblastic
|
|
Stage characterized by the formation fo the blastocoel
|
Blastula
|
|
Stage identifiable by the yolk plug. Formation of three germ layers.
|
Gastrula
|
|
Notochord and neural tube are formed during this stage.
|
Neurula
|
|
The outermost membrane of a chicken egg, aside from the egg shell membrane is
|
the chorion
|
|
What color are the animal and vegetal poles?
|
Animal pole is darker
Vegetal pole is white and contains the yolk (heavier) |
|
Cleavage in which the cleavage plane extends entirely through the zygote.
|
Holoblastic
|
|
Cleavage plane does not extend entirely through the zygote
|
Meroblastic
|
|
Stage characterized by the formation fo the blastocoel
|
Blastula
|
|
Stage identifiable by the yolk plug. Formation of three germ layers.
|
Gastrula
|
|
The egg white (distal from the embryo) is called
|
Albumen, encased by the egg shell memebrane
|
|
Which chicken egg membrane is responsible for storing nitrogenout wastes
|
the Allantois
|
|
The yolk sac in the chicken egg is _____ the chorion and attached to _________ of the embryo.
|
inside; the midgut
|
|
The chicken embryo is immediately surrounded by the
|
amniotic membrane
