Exercise 5 Flashcards
All living organisms exhibit some form of _________ and __________
Growth and development
Members of the animal kingdom have the
Most complex developmental cycles
Formation of zygote to sexually mature adult
Development cycle
5 sequential processes of animal development
Gametogenesis
Fertilization
Preembryonic development
Embryonic development
Post embryonic development
Embryonic development includes the processes of
Growth, determination, differentiation, morphogenesis
Produced by the process of meiosis, only one of each chromosome ends up in the cells after division
Gametes
The sperm is small and almost always flagellated
Male gamete
Usually large since it contains yolk and spherical
Female gamete
Single sperm penetrates and fertilizes the egg to produce a zygote
Fertilization
It is produced to prevent additional sperm from penetrating the egg
Fertilization cone
Zygote begins to divide to produce a multicellular embryo
Preembryonic development
The first identifiable period of development occurs as the fertilized egg begins to divides
Cleavage
These early divisions are called
Cleavage divisions
Each cell produces an identical genetic copy of the zygote and is called
Blastomere
2,4,8 cell stages: each cell is called
Blastomere
