test two Flashcards
Carlos Linnaeus
Father of binomial nomenclature(taxonomy)
1707-1778*
Taxa
whose evolutionary relationships interest you*
Clades
Determine charaters and examine the character states(which taxon does and does not have charatcers)
polarity
whether each character stateis original or derived in each taxon
outgroups
to compare with the taxa you are considering helps you determine the polarity
Synapomorphies
shared or derived characters
plesiomorphies
original or primitive characteristics
Homoplasy
convergence
Monophyletic phylogeny
contains the most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants
paraphyletic group
contains the most recent common ancestors of all members and some but not all of its descendants: goal is to avoid:does not reflect real ancestry
polyphyletic
group does not contain the most recent common ancestor: goal is to avoid:does not reflect real ancestry
Phylum Porifera Characteristics
- Asymetrical
- four cell walls
- water circulations
- No tissues or organs
- most of the species are marine
Porifera cell types
- Pinacocytes
- Archeaocytes
- Choanocytes
- Mesohyl
Pinacocytes
these cells form the outer surface of the sponge and may form porocytes which regulate water circulation
Archeaocytes
these cells are amoebiod like cells that are specialized for reproduction, secreting skeletal elements(spicules) transporting and storing food, and forming contractile rings.
Collencytes
secrete fibrillar collagen

monophyletic phylogeny
contains the most recent common ancestor and all of its descendants
monophyletic phylogeny
contains the most recent common ancestor of all memebers and some but not all of its descendants.
Choanocytes
flagellated cells that have a collar like ring
flagellum creates a water current to draw water with food from the outside the sponge
mesohyl
forms a gelatinous matrix in the sponge
Phylum Cnidaria characteristics
- Radial symmery
- Tissue-level organization
- Gastrovascular cavity(one way street no anus)
- Nervous system
- Specialized cells, called nematocyst, used in defense and feeding
Class Hydrozoa
portugese man of war
Mostly marine, some freshwater
some have many polyps that are colonial
Nematocyst
mm
class Scyphozoa
medusa prominent in life history the polyp stage is small tentacles hang below the bell common name:jellyfish GFP can be attached to any protein and fold into a florescent molecule.
glowing jellyfish
helped to see microscopic images
statocyste (the ball)
tells jellyfish which way is up has oceli(eyes with lens)
class staurozoa
no medusa phase
solitary polyp body is stalked and uses an adhesive disc to attach to seaweeds
polyps reproduce sexually
nonswimming planula develops directly into a new polyp
`Class cubozoa
medusa stage is prominent
tentacles hang from corners of the bell
common name:sea wasp
class anthrozoa
polyps are colonial or solitray
medusa stage is absent
Lesser members of the superphylum : Lophotrochozoa
grow by increasing in body mass
Ciliary locomotion
often with trochophore larva
major groups include Mollusca and Annelida
phylum Mollusca
True coelomate whose members have a
head-foot
visceral mass
mantle and mantle cavity
most classes have a radula(a tounge with teeth) and a calcareous chell
size: from almost microscopic to the 900 kg Achiteuthis
head foot
contains the mouth and certain nervous and sensory structures. used for attachment and locomotion
visceral mass
contains the organs of digestion, circulation, ,reproduction and excretion. attahced to the dorsal aspect of the head-foot.
mantle
enfolds most of the body and may secrete a shell
radula
rasping structure that consists of a chitinous belt and rows of posteriorly curved teeth.
odontophore
supports the radula
class caudofoveata
wormlike molluscks
with a cylindrical, shell-less body; scale like calcareous spincles
tentacles, statocysts, crystalline style, foot, nephridia and lack eyes
lives in deep water, marine burrows
class scaphopoda
the body is enclosed in a shell that is open at both ends
tentacles are used for deposit feeding
no head
marine habitat
Class Bivalvia
body enclosed shell consisting of two valves, hinged dorsally no head or radula wegde-shaped foot habitat: marine and freshwater siphon brings both food and oxygen
class Gastropoda
shell usually colied
body symmetry distorted by torsion
some monoecious species(hermaphrodite)
lives in fresh, marine and terrestrial
Phylum Annelida: Class polychaeta
metameric(segmented), elongated, and cylindrical or oval in cross-section. Complete digestive tract paired epidermal setae with a ventral nerve cord \: over 5300 species most are marine head with eyes and tentacles parapodia bear numerous setae monoecious(hermaphrodite) and dioecious with a trochophore larval stage
Phylum Anthropoda
Metamerism
tagmatization
Metamerism
the anthropos body is often composed of a series of similar segments, each bearing a pair of appendages.
Tagmatization
permits the specialization of regions of the body for specific functions
Subphylum Trilobitomorpha
all marine
lived cambrian-permian
bodies divided into3 longitudinal grooves
antennae and biramous appendages
biramous appendages
trilobite appendages consists of two lobes
–>are walking legs( digging, swimming, or as gills)
biramous
two lobes or appendages or rami
subphylum chelicerata
the body is divided into a prosoma and opisthoma; first pair of appendages is pincerlike and used for feeding.
Common names
do not tell you relationships
names can be deceiving even if they are scientific
analogous structure
characters are not from a common ancestor. instead similar structures are caused by convergent evolution. (Ex: Sharks and dolphins, birds and bats)
homologous structure
characters from a common ancestor, used in cladistics.
polyphyletic phylogeny
group does not contain the most recent common ancestor.
Phylum Ctenophora : Class Nuda ; Class Tentaculata
Biradially symmetrical Ellipsoid Shape Has comb rows \: No Tentacles ; Has Tentacles
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Worms are acoelomate
bilateral invertbrates w/o appendages
some Cnidarian-like characters
show specialization and division of labor among organs
Class Turbellaria
flatworms:
free-living(only found in class Turbellaria) and parasitic forms
Marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments
Class cestoda
Live in: humans, dogs, cats, rabbits, and other mammals
immature stages develop in crustaceans and fish
length up to 20 m (infects humans)
Phylum Nemertea
Probiscus is a long muscular tube that can be thrust out swiftly to grasp prey.
size 20 cm - 60 m
active marine predators.
