30
Cambrian Explosion: Why? (at this time and not another)
- Environmental changes = suitable for animal life (oxygen-rich etc) - Hox Genes - Predator/prey relationships and co-evolution (bc selection pressure etc)
31
Cambrian Explosion: 542-488 MYA – Animals resembling (we saw)...
-pred/prey evol arms race - Top predator = Arthropod - Trilobite: most dominant species
32

likely diverse animal life existed earlier, we don't know about because not on fossil record (ex. soft tissue)
33

43
Sponge Digestion
* Food trapped by choanocytes, phagocytosis (pull it in)
44
Sponge Reproduction: Sexual, eggs and sperm
Monecious * Eggs from amoebocytes, sperm from choanocytes
45
Sponge Reproduction: Asexual - Budding, Fragmentation, Gemmules
Budding: genetically identical outgrowth detaches ( a lot like a plant) Fragmentation: piece brakes off, settles on new substrate Gemmules: only freshwater sponges, go into dormancy and then become active again
