Theme 2 Phylum Clasification Flashcards
(32 cards)
How are organisms classified (by what characteristics)
Genetics
Morphology
Physiology
Behaviour
Heritable traits
What is a clade
A monophyletic group made of a taxa with a unique common ancestor
They are share synapomorphies
What is a synapomorphy
Shared derived characters
What is a taxa
A level in a systematic heirachy
What is the order of linens classification
Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species
What did the ancestral colonial protist in animal phylogeny split into
Basal phyla and bilaterians
What organisms are included in the basal phyla
Ctenophores
Sponges
Placozoans
Cnidarians
What is included in the bilaterians group
Acoela, protostomes, deuterostomes
What is included in deuterostomes
Ambulacra (sea urchins, sea stars)
Chordates
What is included in protosomes
Lophotrochozoans
Ecdysozoans
What does bilaterians mean
Bilateral symmetry
What do ctenophores, placozoans and cnidarian have in common
They have radial symmetry, and are diploblastic (have 2 germ layers ecto and endoderm)
What is the blastopore in protostomes
The mouth
What is the blastopore in deuterostomes
Anus
What are protostomes and deuterostomes (in terms of blastics)
Triploblastic (three germ layers)
Endo meso and ectoderm
Organisms that a diploblastics have what king of symmetry
Radial
What is radial symmetry
They can be any which way and stil look the same
What type of symmetry do triploblastic things have
Bilateral ( only symmetric if cut through middle)
What is cephalization
One end of the organism is emphasized (head)
What are hox genes
The central programming, they call specific genes (turn on) for specific traits and that contributes to creating the body plan
What are hox mutants
When the hox genes turn the wrong gene on in the wrong spot, leading to abnormal body plan
Fly has a leg where antennae is
What is the coelem
The body cavity, empty space between the organs
Do acoela have coeloms
No the are acoelamate
What is psudocoelomate
What organisms are like this
The Coelom (cavity enclosing the gut) if surrounded my mesoderm on the outer side
Or
Endoderm and Coelom touch each other
Most protostomes
