1. AP Biology 2004-2005 Animal Development Let me out!

2. AP Biology 2004-2005 Fertilization!

3. AP Biology 2004-2005 Fertilization  Joining of sperm & egg  sperm head enters egg

4. AP Biology 2004-2005 Blocking polyspermy  Triggers opening of Na + channels in egg cell membrane  depolarizes membrane  “fast block” to polyspermy  Triggers signal transduction pathway  release of Ca +2 from ER causes cascade reaction across egg  “fertilization envelope” forms  like bubble around egg  “slow block” to polyspermy

5. AP Biology 2004-2005

6. AP Biology 2004-2005 “Fast block” to polyspermy  Release of Na+ causes depolarization wave reaction across egg membrane

7. AP Biology 2004-2005 Human fetal development  Day 1: 1 st cleavage  1 cell becomes 2 (2-cell stage)  Day 2: 2 nd cleavage  4-cell stage  Day 3: 6-12 cell stage  can test at this stage for genetic diseases if done by IVF  Day 4: 16-32 cell stage  solid ball of cells = morula

8. AP Biology 2004-2005 Cleavage  Repeated mitotic divisions of zygote  1st step to becoming multicellular  unequal divisions establishes body plan  different cells receive different portions of egg cytoplasm & therefore different regulatory signals

9. AP Biology 2004-2005 Cell signaling  Regulating the expression of genes that affect the developmental fate of the cell

10. AP Biology 2004-2005 Cleavage  zygote  morula  blastula  establishes future development

11. AP Biology 2004-2005

12. AP Biology 2004-2005 Ovulation to implantation

13. AP Biology 2004-2005 Human fetal development  Day 5:  solid morula develops into hollow, fluid-filled blastula  embryo will develop from the inner cell mass, or embryonic disc  Day 6 -7:  blastocyst attaches to the endometrium (uterine lining) & burrows in: implantation  blastocyst starts to secrete HCG = human chorionic gonatotropin  stimulates estrogen & progesterone to prevent menstrual flow  causes "morning sickness" in some women...  pregnancy test measures the amount of this hormone!

14. link Embryonic Development 1. A series of cell divisions. Zygote becomes morula which a. occurs in b. leads to the hollow ball 2. One side of blastula indented. 3. 3 embryonic layers specialize. a.Outside b.Middle c.Inside d.Increase is mitotic oviduct blastula Gastrula Differentiate ectoderm mesoderm endoderm growth Cleavage

15. Embryonic Development : 1. Cleavage: repeating mitosis forms a hollow ball of cells, no increase in size, just in cell number! 2. Blastula: A hollow ball of cells approximately the same size as the zygote (fertilized egg) 3. Gastrulation: One side of the blastula indents. 4. Differentiation: see next slide!

16. Differentiation Ectoderm: Ectoderm: The outer part of the gastrula becomes the nervous system and epidermis of the skin. Mesoderm: Mesoderm: The middle of the gastrula becomes the muscles, skeleton, circulatory system, excretory system and reproductive system. Endoderm: The inner layer becomes the lining of the digestive tract, respiratory tract and the liver and pancreas.

17. AP Biology 2004-2005 Gastrulation blastopore: forms at sperm penetration point archenteron: forms endoderm embryonic gut mesoderm dorsal lip: organizing center for development tissue formation

18. AP Biology 2004-2005 Human fetal developmental  Days 10 - 14:  pregnancy becomes established  fluid filled amniotic cavity starts to form  yolk sac starts to form  will make blood cells, germ cells  embryo starts to form from embryonic disc  chorion (placenta) starts to form  At the end of this stage, a woman will have just missed her period! Day 14

19. AP Biology 2004-2005 Morphogenesis  organization of differentiated cells into tissues & organs  cell migration  by changes in shape  cells fold inward as pockets by changing shape  cell movements  cells move by pseudopods projecting from the cell body  signals from cues  guided by following chemical gradients  respond to adhesive cues from recognition proteins on adjacent cells

20. AP Biology 2004-2005 Human fetal developmental  Days 15 - 21:  emergence of the vertebrate body plan  primitive streak starts to form  the site of gastrulation (formation of 3 tissue layers = ecto, endo, and mesoderm)  neural groove begins to form  future spinal cord & brain  somites begin to form  bands of tissue that will become muscles & bones  pharyngeal arches begin to form  future face, neck, mouth, nose

21. AP Biology 2004-2005 Vertebrate body plan Day 19

22. AP Biology 2004-2005 Organogenesis Umbilical blood vessels Chorion Amnion Yolk sac Allantois Fetal blood vessels Maternal blood vessels Bird embryo Mammalian embryo Placenta

23. AP Biology 2004-2005 Organ development  Organ development begins with the formation of:  neural tube  future spinal cord & brain  notochord  primitive skeleton, replaced by vertebrate spinal column  somites  bands of tissue that will become muscles & bones

24. AP Biology 2004-2005 Coelom  Acoelomates  flatworms  Pseudocoelomates  roundworms, nematodes  Coelomates  mollusca, annelida, arthropoda, echinodermata, & chordata

25. AP Biology 2004-2005 Sex determination XY XX Testes Y SpermZygote Ovum Sperm Ovum X X X Indifferent gonads SRY No SRY Ovaries (Follicles do not develop until third trimester) Seminiferous tubules Develop in early embryo Leydig cells

26. AP Biology 2004-2005  Homeotic genes  master regulatory genes  in flies these genes identify body segments & then turn on other appropriate genes to control further development of those body sections  Example: SRY gene Master control genes

27. AP Biology 2004-2005 Homeotic genes  Mutations to homeotic genes produce flies with such strange traits as legs growing from the head in place of antennae.  structures characteristic of a particular part of the animal arise in wrong place antennapedia flies

28. AP Biology 2004-2005 Homeobox DNA  Master control genes evolved early  Conserved for hundreds of millions of years  Homologous homeobox genes in fruit flies & vertebrates  kept their chromosomal arrangement link

29. AP Biology Malformation of the HOX gene? Roman god-Janus, guarder of the gates Diprosous: Craniofacial duplication Return of the Indian Goddess of Valor? Homeotic genes, also known as Hox genes specify the anterior- posterior axis and segment identity of metazoan organisms during early embryonic development. These genes are critical for the proper number and placement of embryonic segment structures (such as legs, antennae, and eyes).segment identitymetazoanembryonicgenes

30. AP Biology 2004-2005 Evolutionary Constraints on Development  Basic body plans of the major animal groups have not changed due to a limited number of homeotic genes ( master genes)  These genes have imposed limits  taxonomic / evolutionary  physical  architectural

31. AP Biology 2004-2005 Placenta  Materials exchange across membranes
