False: All animals share embryotic morphology and development
33
What determines embryotic development?
Homeotic genes
34
What are homeobox "hox" genes?
The DNA sequences that encode protein transcription factors on Homeotic genes (they are called "master control genes")
35
Hox genes in animals determine what?
Body plan
36
Hox genes encode for...
Transcription factors that control the expression of other genes (they turn other genes on and off)
37

40
How many Hox Genes do Porifera and Ctenophora have?
They DO NOT have Hox Genes
41
What are Porifera and Ctenophora considered as in regards to Hox Genes?

How many germ layers do Porifera animals have?
They don't possess true tissues, but they do have 12 different tissue types
50
How do Radially symmetric animals experience the environment differently compared to the other symmetries?
Radial symmetry allows them to experience the environment from all directions

55
Bilateral symmetry allows for what types of motion?
Streamlined & Directional
56
Bilaterally symmetrical animals are [diploblastic or triploblastic?]
Triploblastic
57
What is a coelom?
An internal body cavity that's derived from mesoderm tissue
