2007-2008 Domain Bacteria Domain Archaea Domain Eukarya Common ancestor Kingdom: Animals Domain Eukarya VERTEBRATES!!!
3
postanal tail notochord hollow dorsal nerve cord pharyngeal pouches becomes brain & spinal cord becomes vertebrae becomes gills or Eustachian tube becomes tail or tailbone CHARACTERISTICS: NOTOCHORD PHARYNGEAL POUCHES POST ANAL TAIL DORSAL NERVE CORD
4
VERTEBRATE CHARACTERISTICS: ALL CHORDATE CHARACTERISTICS PLUS: Bones or cartilage around a dorsal nerve cord Cranium (skull) to protect brain Endoskeleton made of bone or cartilage Closed circulatory system fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals
5
Notochord: flexible rod Helps organize developing cells in embryo Replaced by spinal cord in most vertebrates Becomes the vertebrae
7
Become gills in some vertebrates Become back of throat and inner ears in humans
9
Pharyngeal arches appear during 4 th week Tail disappears at approximately 8 weeks
10
Characteristics body structure bony OR cartilaginous skeleton Scales, fins Lungs/swim bladder body function gills for gas exchange two-chambered heart; single loop blood circulation ectotherms reproduction external fertilization external development in aquatic egg salmon, trout, sharks 450 mya gills body
11
Evolution of tetrapods Tibia Femur Fibula Humerus Shoulder Radius Ulna Tibia Femur Pelvis Fibula Lobe-finned fish Humerus Shoulder Radius Ulna Pelvis Early amphibian Evidence suggests lobe finned fish are ancestors of amphibians
12
Intermediate between fish and early tetrapods Fins have basic wrist bones and simple fingers Earliest fish with a neck Discovered by Neil Shubin and Ted Daeschler in 2004 http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/images/news/tiktaalik_reconstruction.jpg
13
lung buccal cavity glottis closed Characteristics body structure legs (tetrapods) Thin, moist skin body function lungs (positive pressure) & diffusion through skin for gas exchange three-chambered heart/2 loops Ectotherms Excrete UREA reproduction external fertilization external development in aquatic egg metamorphosis (tadpole to adult) frogs salamanders toads 350 mya
14
Characteristics Dry, scaly skin body function lungs for gas exchange three-chambered heart/2 loops (except crocodilians) ectotherms excrete URIC ACID reproduction INTERNAL fertilization external development- AMNIOTIC egg 250 mya dinosaurs, turtles lizards, snakes alligators, crocodile embryo leathery shell chorion allantois yolk sac amnion
15
amnion -bag of waters; the extraembryonic membrane of birds, reptiles, and mammals, which lines the chorion and contains the fetus and the amniotic fluid http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/amnionshttp://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/27/117227-050-E1C9ABEE.jpg IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT AMNIOTIC EGG- reptiles didn’t have to return to water to lay eggs
16
Characteristics body structure feathers & wings thin, hollow bone; flight skeleton body function very efficient lungs & air sacs four-chambered heart/2 loops endotherms excrete URIC ACID reproduction INTERNAL fertilization external development in AMNIOTIC egg 150 mya finches, hawk ostrich, turkey trachea anterior air sacs lung posterior air sacs
17
Characteristics body structure hair specialized teeth body function lungs, diaphragm; negative pressure four-chambered heart/2 loops endotherms reproduction internal fertilization internal development in uterus nourishment through placenta birth live young mammary glands make milk 220 mya / 65 mya mice, ferret elephants, bats whales, humans muscles contract diaphragm contracts
18
Sub-groups monotremes egg-laying mammals duckbilled platypus, echidna marsupials pouched mammals short-lived placenta koala, kangaroo, opossum placental true placenta shrews, bats, whales, humans
19
Which vertebrates lay eggs with shells? Which vertebrates are covered with scales? What adaptations do birds have for flying? What kind of symmetry do all vertebrates have? Which vertebrates are ectothermic and which are endothermic? Why must amphibians live near water? What reproductive adaptations made mammals very successful? What characteristics distinguish the 3 sub-groups of mammals?
