Chapter 32: Introduction to Animal Evolution
Characteristics of All Animals Multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes Mobile Lack cell walls Cells have tight and gap junctions Have nervous and muscular tissue Sexual reproduction Dominant diploid stage Have special regulatory genes- Hox genes
Embryonic Development Gastrulation Germ layers Endoderm, Ectoderm, Mesoderm
Traditional Animal Phylogenetic Tree
1. Parazoa / Eumetazoa Parazoa Lack true tissues Porifera (Sponges) Have true tissues All other animals
2. Radiata / Bilateria Radiata Includes Cnidaria, Ctenophora Dorsal and Ventral Wheel-like symmetry Two tissue layers- diplobastic Endoderm Ectoderm
2. Radiata / Bilateria Bilateria Dorsal, ventral, anterior, posterior Mirror image symmetry Three tissue layers- triploblastic Mesoderm Archenteron Cephalization
3. Body cavities
4. Protostomes / Deuterostomes
4. Protostomes / Deuterostomes Mollusks, Annelids, Arthropods Blastopore Mouth first Cleavage Spiral Determinate Coelom formation Schizocoelous
4. Protostomes / Deuterostomes Echinoderms, chordates Blastopore Anus first Cleavage Radial Indeterminate Coelom formation Enterocoelous
