Introduction to Invertebrates 3 Evolution of Animals All animals are multicellular heterotrophic organisms that must take in preformed food Classification Criteria Level of organization Cellular, tissue, organ Body Plan Sac, tube-within-a-tube Segmentation Segmentation leads to specialization

Introduction to Invertebrates 4 Evolution of Animals Classification Criteria, cont Symmetry Radial - Two identical halves Bilateral - Definite right and left halves Type of Coelom Pseudocoelom Coelom Early Developmental Pattern Protostome - First embryonic opening becomes the mouth Dueterostome - Second embryonic opening becomes the mouth

Introduction to Invertebrates Evolution of the Animal Body Plan 1.Animal body plans generally become increasingly complex, from asymmetrical, to radial, to bilateral. 2.Body plans are determined by the pattern of genes being expressed or not expressed, at different times and regions of the developing embryo. 3.In the first stages of development, the anterior and posterior ends of the embryo are defined. 4.In animals that have bilateral symmetry and segments, the next step in development is diving the embryo into segments. 7

Introduction to Invertebrates Evolution of the Animal Body Plan 5After the segmentation pattern is established, the Hox (homeotic) genes determine what each segment will be. a.Hox genes bind to the genetic area that determines the body plan during development. b.Each Hox gene determines the developmental fate of a particular region of the body. 1)In mice, Hox C8 determines that 12 segments become the thoracic vertebrate. 2)In snakes, Hox C8 determines the development of hundreds of thoracic vertebrae. c.Hox genes are found in all animals and there is a shared similarity among animal groups. d.Hox genes have evolved from a common ancestor. 8
