Term
How does a Zygote become an animal?
Definition
-Eggs contain cytoplasmic determinants (proteins and RNAs) that direct first stages of animal development
-Cell division -> Cell differentiation -> Morphogensis
Term
Cleavage
Definition
Fertilization -> Cleavage -> Rapid cell division creates hollow ball of cells (Blastula)
Term
Cytoplasmic determinants are
Definition
Proteins and RNAs
Term
Polarity - defined by... and different poles
Definition
-Polarity defined by distribution of yolk (stored Nutrients)
-Vegetal Pole (more yolk)
-Animal Pole (Less yolk)
Term
Three Body Axes
Definition
1. Dorsal - Ventral
2. Anterior - Posterior
3. Right - Left
Term
Gastrula - Rearranges ___ into 3 layered embryo, resulting in formation of what three tissues...
Definition
-Rearranges Blastula
-Ectoderm - Outermost layer
-Mesoderm - Middle Layer
-Endoderm - Inner later
Term
Definition of Organogenesis
Definition
-Interaction of 3 germ layers results in formation of organs, results in individual with the body organization characteristic of its species
Term
In early vertebrate organogenesis the notochord froms from _____ and the neural plate froms from ______
Definition
-Mesoderm
-Ectoderm
Term
Neural tube becomes...
Definition
Central Nervous system (Brain and spinal cord)
Term
Neural crest cells develop ____ and form ___
Definition
Neural crest cells develop along the neural tube of vertebrates and form various parts of the embryo (Nerves, parts of teeth, skull bones, etc)
Term
Cells in a multicellular organism share the same..
Definition
Genome
Term
Differentiation
Definition
-The expression of different genes
Term
Two general principles underlying differentiation:
Definition
1. During early cleavage divisions, embryonic cells must become different from one another
2. After cell asymmetries (resulting from uneven distribution of cytoplasmic determinant) are set up, interactions among embryonic cells influence their fate, usually causing changes in gene expression (INDUCTION)

Term
Simple summary of embryonic development
Definition
-Fertilization proceeds through cleavage (Blastula), gastrulation (Gastrula - 3 germ layers, endo-meso-ectoderm) and organogenesis (Notochord, coelem, neural tube)
