BIOLOGY 112: EXAM 3 PREP--Lecture 1
Early Gastrulation in humans
1) Blastocyst reaches uterus. 2) Blastocyst implants (7 days after fertilization). 3) Extraembryonic membranes start to form (10-11 days) and gastrulation begins (13 days). Gastrulation has produced a three-layer embryo with four extraembryonic membranes; the amnion, chorion, yolk sac, and allantois.
What is sexually immature and morphologically distinct from the adult and eventually undergoes metamorphosis to become a juvenile?
A larva. *Differentiation of the body—the Somatic cell line. Most animals have at least one juvenile and/or larval stage prior to adult. Regulated by hormones and microRNAs.
What is a movement in which a sheet of cells undergoes rearrangement to form a longer and narrower shape?
A morphogenetic movement *Cells elongate and wedge between each other to form fewer columns of cells—driven by cytoskeleton.

Concept 36.1
Adaptions for acquiring resources were key steps in the evolution of vascular plants.
Concept 47.2 Morphogenesis in animals involves specific changes in cell shape, position and survival
After cleavage, the rate of cell division slows and the normal cell cycle is restored. Morphogenesis, the cell and tissue based process by which the animal body takes shape, involves: gastrulation, the movement of cells from the blastula surface to the interior of the embryo. Organogenesis, the formation of organs.
After gastrulation, dorsal mesoderm forms *blank*, dorsal ectoderm forms neural plate. Two ridges form: the *blank*.
After gastrulation, dorsal mesoderm forms *notochord*, dorsal ectoderm forms neural plate. Two ridges form: the *neural folds*.

An identical or very similar nucleotide sequence has been discovered in the homeotic genes of bother vertebrates and invertebrates. Homeobox gene products contain a *peptide* domain that binds to DNA and functions as a transcription regulator. Related homeobox, regulatory sequences have been found in regulatory genes of yeasts, plants (knotted and Knox genes), and even prokaryotes—not necessarily homeotic.

Derived Characters of Birds
Birds probably descended from small theropods, a group of carnivorous dinosaurs with feathers not initially evolved for flight, but for insulation, camouflage or courtship display. Many characters of modern birds are adaptions that facilitate flight—modification of almost every feathers of reptilian anatomy. The majority adaption is wings with keratin feathers. Other adaptions: a urinary bladder females with only one ovary, small gonads, and loss of teeth. Some clades of birds have lost the ability to fly—ratites (ostriches, emus, etc.), and some rails, ducks, and pigeons.

Concept 32.3: Animals can be characterizes by "body plans"
Categorize animals according to a body plan: the organization of somatic tissue and organ systems. In animals, two different types of symmetry. Radial symmetry, with front, back, left, and right indistinguishable—usually sessile and less active. Bialtera symmetry: two sided symmetry—more active and have central nervous system. Bilaterally symmetrical animals have: A dorsal (top side and ventral (bottom) side—not symmetric along the axis. A right and left side—about which they are symmetrical. Anterior (front and posterior (back) ends—not symmetrical along the axis.

Concept 18.4 A program of differential gene expression leads to the different cell types in a multicellular organism.
Concept 18.4 A program of differential gene expression leads to the different cell types in a multicellular organism. During development, new cell types arise and are organized successively into tissues, organs, organ systems, and the whole organism. Tissues are groups of similar cells that act as a functional unit. Differential gene expression, whereby are regulated differently in each cell type, orchestrates development. Development in the zygote and form stem cells comes from cell division, cell differentiation, and morphogenesis. Cell differentiation is the process by which cells become specialized in structure and function. The physical processes that give an organism its shape constitute morphogenesis. Development is a stacked deck: Preexisting materials—in eggs or other progenitor cells—set up gene regulation.
Concept 34.5 Amniotes are tetrapods that have a terrestrially adapted egg
Concept 34.5 Amniotes are tetrapods that have a terrestrially adapted egg Land vertebrates form four extraembryonic membranes: the chorion, allantois, amnion, and yolk sac. These provide a life-support system for the further development of the embryo. Reproduction outside of aqueous environments required development of: The shelled egg of birds, other reptiles, and the monotremes and the uterus of marsupial and eutheriam mammals. In both adaptations, embryos are surrounded by fluid in a sac called the amnion. This protects the embryo from desiccation and allows reproduction on dry land. Mammals and reptiles included birds are called amniotes for this reason. The chorion functions in gas exchange. The amnion and chorion enclose the amniotic fluid. The yolk sac encloses the yolk. The allantois disposes of waste products and contributes to gas exchange.
After soil solution enters the roots, the extensive surface area of *blank* cell membranes enhances uptake of water and selected minerals. (Concept 36.3)

Syncytial blastoderm in Drosophila (insects), nuclear disions is not accompanied by cell division until 2000-4000 have formed. Meroblastic cleavage, incomplete division of the egg, occurs in species with yolk-rich eggs, such as reptile and bird. Initial development is carried out by RNA and proteins morphogen gradients are deposited in the egg during oogenesis—deposition of bicoid in Drosophila establishes anterior-posterior axis After cleavage, the egg cytoplasm has been divided among many blastomeres, each of which can make sufficient RNA to program the cell's metabolism and further development—develop by induction.

Embryogenesis differences—in plants in animals
Solid embryo—no blastocoel. No cell-cell movement, gastrulation in plants. "Internal" development protects embryo from desiccation (like amniotes). Ingrowths of maternal placental cell transfer nutrients to developing embryo—and endosperm in seeds. No stored reserves (yolk) for initial embryo development—but in seed plants, a lot of stored reserves in endosperm and cotyledons for post-germination growth. Hence, in non-seed plants—liverworts, mosses and ferns, there is a large dependence on maternal tissues and early absorption of nutrients.

Induction in the Frog Embryo: The "organizer" of Spemann and Mangold
Spemann and Mangold transplanted tissues between early gastrulas and found that the transplanted dorsal lip of the blastopore triggered second gastrulation in the host. The dorsal lip functions as an organizer of the embryo body plan, inducing changes in surrounding tissues to form notochord, neural tube, and so its position determines the fate of other cells.

The neural tube.
What differences between the two sides of the blastoderm establish the dorsal-ventral axis?
The pH differences *Axis formation in Birds and Mammals In chicks, gravity is involved in establishing the anterior-posterior axis.
What happens if the lost water is not replaced by sufficient transport of water? Concept 36.5
The plant will lose water and wilt.
Concept 36.4
The rate of transpiration is regulated by stomata
The cell marked with color always give rise to only one sector, if the sectors are lineage-dependent and give rise to multiple sectors, if position-dependent.
The root-shoot boundary is zero. Many cell linages arise and end within this boundary. Therefore, plant development is position dependent, not lineage dependent.
The second region is the *blank*: mesodermal tissue under the ectoderm where the posterior side of the bud is attached to the body.
The second region is the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA),
At night root cells continue pumping mineral ions into the xylem of the vascular cylinder, lowering what? (Concept 36.5)
The water potential
Concept 32.1 Animals are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes with tissues that develop from embryonic layers.
There are exceptions to nearly every criterion for distinguishing animals from other life-forms. Animals are heterotrophs that ingest their food. Animals are multicellular eukaryotes. Their cells lack cell walls. Their bodies are held together by structural proteins such as collagen. Nervous tissue and muscle tissue are unique, defining characteristics of animals.
Axis Formation in Vertebrates—the Frogs A body plan with bilateral symmetry is found across a range of animals. This body plan exhibits asymmetry across the which axes?
This body plan exhibits asymmetry across the dorsal-ventral and anterior-posterior axes.
The products of photosynthesis are transported through phloem by the process of? (Concept 36.5)
Translocation
Plants lose a large amount of water by what process? (Concept 36.5)
Transpiration
Concept 36.3
Transpiration drives the transport of water and minerals from roots to shoots via the xylem.
The *blank* pull on xylem sap is transmitted from leaves to roots. (Concept 36.4)
Transpirational
Bilateria are *blank* and form a third layer the mesoderm.
Triploblasts
What is the pressure exerted by the plasma membrane against the cell wall, and the cell wall against the protoplast? (Concept 36.3)
Turgor pressure
Turtles and Snakes—Changes in vertebra development
Turtles and Snakes—Changes in vertebra development Some turtles are desert, some are aquatic, and some are sea turtles (the largest). The phylogenetic position of turtles remains uncertain. All turtles have a boxlike shell made of upper and lower shields that are fused to the vertebrae, clavicles and ribs. Snakes are legless, but they have multiple vertebrae. Legs lost evolutionarily—lepidosaurs that evolved from lizards. Is leglessness linked to somite dev? Carnivorous feeding adaptions of snakes: chemical sensors, heat-detecting organs, venom, loosely articulated jawbones and elastic skin. Movement through coiling and sequential lifting of scales.
Who have two or more sets of Hox genes?
Vertebrates have two or more sets of Hox genes. *Additional genomic complexity gives rise to skull and backbone in somites.
Water can cross the cortex via the *blank* or *blank*. (Concept 36.3)
Water can cross the cortex via the symplast or apoplast.
Water flows from the regions of *blank* water potential to regions of *blank* water potential. (Concept 36.3)
Water flows from the regions of higher water potential to regions of lower water potential.
Concept 21.6 Comparing genome sequences provides clues to evolution and development
Widespread Conservation of Development Genes among Animals. Genic information shows that minor differences in gene sequence or regulation can result in striking differences in form.
What transports water and minerals from roots to shoots? (Concept 36.1)
Xylem
