prevailing developmental theory of the 18th century
preformation
current developmental theory
epigenesis
Developmental theory in which there is progressive development
epigenesis
An organisms development is determined by
its genome
the differentiation of its molecules
Is the specialization of cells in their structure and function
cell differentiation
Process in which the cell takes shape
morphogenesis
Major steps in development
fertilization
Cleavage
Gastrulation
Organogenesis
Main function of fertilization
to bring the haploid nuclei of sperm and egg together to form a diploid zygote
activates the egg
fertilization
modifies the zona pellucida as a slow block to polyspermy
cortical reaction
Cortical Reaction process
1. The sperm migrates through the coat of follicle cells and binds to receptor molecules in the zona pellucida of the egg. (Receptor molecules are not shown here.)
2. This binding induces the acrosomal reaction, in which the sperm releases hydrolytic enzymes into the zona pellucida.
3. Breakdown of the zona pellucida by these enzymes allows the sperm to reach the plasma membrane of the egg. Membrane proteins of the sperm bind to receptors on the egg membrane, and the two membranes fuse.
4. The nucleus and other components of the sperm cell enter the egg.
5. Enzymes released during the cortical reaction harden the zona pellucida
6. which now functions as a block to polyspermy.
in humans what part of sperm comes into the egg
the entire sperm
along with 1/2 the genomen human sperm contributes
centriole
fertilization is followed by
cleavage
A period of rapid cell division without overall cell growth occurs
cleavage
Cleavage partitions the cytoplasm of one large cell into many smaller cells called
blastomeres
16-64 cell stage
morula
the eggs and zygoes of many animals except mammals have
definate polarity
2 poles
vegal
Animal
yolk pole
vegal
embryo pole
animal
Occurs in species whose eggs have little or moderate amounts of yolk , such as sea urchins and frogs
holoblastic
Occurs in yolk rich eggs
Meroblastic
rotate toward the point of sperm entry
plasma membrane and point of cortex
is exposed and marks the dorsal surface of the embryo
gray crescent
Cleavage occurs more rapidly in the
animal pole than in the vegetal pole
the first two cleavages are
vertical
third cleavage is
horizontal
16-64 cells near animal pole divide more frequently solid ball of cells
morula
The bastocoel forms within the morula creating a
blastula
in meroblastic most of the cells volume is yolk with but there is a small disk of cytoplasm were cells divide more rapidly called
zygote
a
mass of cells that rests on of the yolk mass
blastoderm
three germ layers
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
outermost germ layer
ectoderm
Lines the embryonic digestive tract
mesoderm
Partly fills the space between the endoderm and ectoderm
mesoderm
Rearranges the cells of a blastula into a three-layered embryo, called a gastrula, that has a primitive gut
gastrulation
a three-layered embryo that has a primative gut
gastrula
Gastrulation
begins with
a blastula
the _______ of blastopore (small indented crease) pushes inward (involution)
dorsal
lip
inward push of blastophore
involution
process of gastrulation
1.Gastrulation begins with a blastula-dorsal lip of blastopore (small
indented crease) pushes inward (involution)
2.Lip of blastophore starts becoming circular. Three germ layers start
forming. Blastocoel shrinks
3.Late gastrulation. Circular blastopore surrounds
yolk plug
upper layer in chick
epiblast
Lower chick layer
hypoblast
The notochord forms from
mesoderm
the neural plate forms from
ectoderm
Mesoderm lateral to the notochord Forms
blocks called somites
Organogenesis
Early organogenesis. The
archenteron forms when lateral folds pinch the embryo away from the yolk. The
embryo remains open to the yolk, attached by the yolk stalk, about midway along
its length, as shown in this cross section. The notochord, neural tube, and  somites subsequently form much as they do in
the frog.
Late organogenesis. Rudiments of most major organs have already formed in this chick
embryo, which is about 56 hours old and about 2–3 mm long (LM).
organisms that Develop within a fluid-filled sac that is contained with a shell or
the uterus
amniotes
amniotes extra embryonic membranes
chorion
amnion
Allantois
yolk sac
protects
the embryo in a fluid-filled cavity that prevents dehydration and cushions
mechanical shock. (meso and ecto)
amnion
meso and ectoderms make up
amion
chorion
functions as a disposal sac for certain metabolic wastes produced by the embryo. The membrane of the allantois also functions with the chorion as a respiratory organ.
allantois
meso, ecto, endo make up
allantois
the membrane of the allantois exchange gases between the embryo and
the surrounding air. Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse freely across the egg’s
shell.\
chorion
a stockpile of nutrients stored in the egg. Blood vessels in the yolk sac membrane transport nutrients from the yolk into the embryo. Other nutrients are stored in the albumen (the “egg white”).
yolk sac
composed of endo and meso
yolk sac
mammals exhibit _______ cleavage
holoblastic cleavage
mammals eggs show ____ polarity
no obvious
Early embryonic development in human has four stages
(a) After completion of cleavage, Blastocyst reaches the uterus
(b) The trophoblast, the outer epithelium of the blastocyst. Initiates implantation in the uterus and the blastocyst forms a flat disk of cells. the Blastocyst implants
(c) As implantation is completed, gastrulation begins. and the extra-embryonic membranes start to form
(d) By the end of gasturaltion. A three layered embryo with four extra-embryonic membranes has formed
developmental fate of cells Two general principles
a) During early cleavage divisions embryonic cells must somehow become different from one another
b) Once initial cells asymmetries are set up subsequent interactions among the embryonic cells influence their fate, usually by causing changes in gene expression (induction)
are general territorial diagrams of embryonic development-
fate maps
Axes of the basic body plan In nonamniotic vertebrates
Basic instructions for establishing the body axes are set down early, during oogenesis or fertilization.
Axes of the basic body plan In amniotes,
local environmental differences Play a major role in establishing initial differences between cells and later the body axes
Fertilized salamander eggs were allowed to divide normally, resulting in the gray crescent being evenly divided between the two blastomeres. Result is
(c) Blastomeres that receive half or all of the gray crescent develop into normal embryos
Fertilized eggs were constricted by a thread so that the first cleavage plane restricted the gray crescent to one blastomere.
(c) blastomere that receives none of the gray crescent gives rise to an abnormal embryo without dorsal structures.
Result of additional dorsal lip
(2) Grafting the dorsal lip of one embryo onto the ventral surface of another embryo results in the development of a second notochord and neural tube at the site
of the graft.
