Q

These were dominant terrestrial vertebrates in Mesozoic era

24
Q

First mammals emerged

25
Beginning of this era followed mass extinctions of terrestrial and marine animals
Cenozoic era
26
These diversified during Cenozoic
Modern mammal orders and insects
27
Set of morphological and developmental traits used to categorize animals by zoologists
Body plan
28
Group whose members share key biological features
Grade
29
body parts arranged around central axis
radial symmetry
30
Two sided symmetry
Bilateral symmetry
31
The development of a head
Cephalization
32
Three germ layers that give rise to tissues and organs of animal embryo
endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm
33
the germ layer covering the embryo's surface
ectoderm
34
the innermost germ layer
endoderm
35
endoderm lies this developing digestive tube
archenteron
36
Have ectoderm and endoderm
Diploblastic animals
37
Have ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm
Triploblastic
38
True body cavity
Coelom
39
Is derived from mesoderm
Coelom
40
Animals that possess a true coelom
coelomates
41
Body cavity derived from the mesoderm and endoderm
Pseudocoelom
42
Triploblastic animals that posess a pseudocoelom
Pseudocoelomates
43
Triploblastic animals that lack a body cavity
Acoelomates
44
Cleavage pattern in protostome development
spiral and determinate
45
Cleavage pattern in deuterostome development
Radial and indeterminate
46
Each cell in the early stages of cleavage retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo
Indeterminate cleavage
47
Two phylogenetic hypotheses
genetic/molecular camp and morphological/developmental camp
48
All animals share a common
Ancestor
49
Clade of animals with true tissues
Eumetazoa
50
Most animal phyla belong to this clade
Bilateria
51
Two clades of bilaterians
deuterostomes and protostomes
52
Shed their exoskeletons by molting
Ecdysozoans
53
Ecdysis
molting
54
mouth develops before anus
Protostome
55
anus develops before mouth
Deuterostome
