the general type of cleavage pattern typical of telolecthical and some centroecthical eggs,where the yolk cells either don't divide or they divide slower than the animal pole resulting in unequal distribution of the blastocoel.
meroblastic
In this type of cleavage the entire embryological mass divides including the yolk. This is characteristic of the homoecithal eggs and is the most common mode of cleavage in the metazoan phyla. Blastmomeres are generally equal in size and evenly distributed around the forming embryonic cavity, the blastocoel.
holoblastic
This is an equal cleavage where the yolk materials are surrounded. It is seen is some centroecithal eggs.
superficial
There are a variety of ways that in which blastomeres come to be arranged following holoblastic cleavage. Type of cleavage where there is a regular alternation of blastomeres around a polar axis resulting in a centrally located blastocoel.
radial
There are a variety of ways that in which blastomeres come to be arranged following holoblastic cleavage. Micromeres rotate 45 degrees from verticle after the third cleavage. After this rotation, successive tiers of blastomeres alternate so that cells of one tier rest in the wells or cell spaces formed between the cells below them.
spiral
There are a variety of ways that in which blastomeres come to be arranged following holoblastic cleavage. This type of cleavage is seen in Nematodes, other Aschelminthes and some Hemichordata. Cleavage tend to be in right and left halves
bilateral
egg cleavage in which each division irreversibly separates portions of the zygote with specific potencies for further development and what group of organisms does this type of cleavge go with?
determinate and protostomes
egg cleavage where early zygote cells have the capacity to develop into complete embryos and what group of invertebrates is this characteristic of?
indeterminate, deuterostomes
in most organisms the gastrocoel is the primordium of the:
digestive tract
the central chamber of the blastula formed in the cleavage period of an embryo is the
blastocoel
the mesoderm arises as outpockets from the primitive gut. These pockets become cut off in the blastocoel; their cavity is the coelom, their walls the mesoderm.
Enterocoel
As the mesoderm develops, the coelom develops as a split in the mesoderm.
Schizocoel
primordium of the digestive tract
the gastrocoel
4 phyla that characterize Deuterostoma
Echinodermata
Chaetognatha
Hemichordata
Chordata
blastocoel fills up with mesoderm in form of muslce fibers, parenchyma,and other tissue. The digestive cavity remains
Acoelomate
Blastocoel persists in adults leaving a space btw. digestive tract and the body wall. Blastocoel not lined completely with tissue of mesodermal origin.
psuedocoel
One organism benefits, the other is harmed (+ -)
parasitism
One organism benefits, other is unaffected (+ 0)
commensalism
both organisms benefit
mutualism
includes prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and blue green algae (cyanophytes)
Monera
includes the various simple-celled eukaryotes such as protozoa and protophyta.
Protista
Includes yeats, mushrooms, rusts, smuts, sac, fungi, puffballs, molds, mildews , and slime molds
Fungi
These are multicellular and include the Parazoa and the Metazoa
Animal
Includes generally metaphyta and other vascular and nonvascular forms. Many species of algae are also placed in this Kingdom by some authors instead of Protista.
Plants
organisms that are either suspended in the water column or are swimmers.
pelagic
composed of intertidal and sublittoral
neritic
the region of the water column between 1000 and 4000 meters in depth.
bathypelagic
the region of the water comlumn between the surface and 200 meters in depth. Because of the depth, the region is generally found outside the sublittoral zone.
epipelagic
the region of the water column between 200 meters and 1000 meters in depth.
mesopelagic
the region of the water column deeper than 4000 meters
abyssopelagic
the upper region of the ocean where light can effectively penetrate and phtosynthesis exceeds respiration. usually betwen 100 and 200 meters depending on turbidity.
photic zone
the edge of the sea which rises and falls with the tides
littoral zone
in lakes, zone where it is generally the peripheral shallow zone which extends from the shoreline of a lake to the depth where planst are no longer found
littoral zone
the region below the intertidal zone which extends outward to the end of the continental.
sublittoral
in lakes, it is the zone which extends lakeward from the littoral zone into deeper water.

region below the sublittoral zone in deep lakes and essentially is the bottom zone
