Name five major features of animal phylogenies that are supported by systematic analyses of morphological characters and recent molecular studies
|
1) all animals share a common ancestor.
2) sponges are basal animals 3) Eumetazoa is a clade of animals with true tissues 4) Most animal phyla belong to the clade Bilateria 5) Chordates and some other phyla belong to the clade deuterostomia |
|
List five (distinguishing) characteristics (that other kingdoms don't have in common) that combine to define animals.
|
1) Extracellular matrix with structure protein collagens.
2) Muscle and nervous system 3) Sex 4) Cleavage 5) Gap, tight, desmosomes |
|
What are the three lines of evidence that choanoflagellates are the closest living relatives of animals
|
1) Chonoflagellates look just like collar cells of sponges
2) Similar cells found in other animals, but no other organisms 3) DNA sequences show similarity in adhesion |
|
Explain how animal symmetry may match the animal's way of life.
|
Radial animals are equip to meet the enviroment equally well from all sides. Bilateral animals have a central nervous system that enables them to coordinate the complex movements involved in crawling, flying, or swimming.

|
Development of protostomes
a) pattern of cleavage b) fate of the blastopore c) coelom formation |
A) Spiral determinate
B) Mouth forms C) coelom forms from splits in mesoderm |
|
Development of deuterostomes
a) pattern of cleavage b) fate of the blastopore c) coelom formation |
A) radial indeterminate
B) Mouth forms from a secondary opening. c) coelom forms from mesodermal outpocketing of the archenteron |
|
Explain the function of a body cavity.
|
Its fluid cushions the suspended organs, helping to prevent internal injury.Enables the internal organs to grow and move independently of the outer body wall.
