Cards

Term
Preformation
Definition
all parts of the embryo are present in an gamete but are to small and transparent to see
Term
epigenesis
Definition
fertilized egg contains building blocks only
Term
fertilization
Definition
the union of the female and male gamete
Term
morphogenetic determinates
Definition
direct activation and repression of specific genes later in postfertilization development
Term
germinal vesicle
Definition
when the nucleus grows rapidly during egg maturation becoming bloated with RNA
Term
fertilization cone
Definition
forms at the point of sperm contact with the vitelline envelope
Term
polyspermy
Definition
more then 1 sperm entering the egg
Term
cortical reaction
Definition
follows fast block, thousands of enezyme rich granuals fuse with the membrane and release their contents into the space between the membrane and vitiline envelope causing an oosmotic gradient causing water to fill the area lifting the enveloper and exta sperm away from the membrane
Term
Isolecithal
Definition
very little yolk evenly distributed
Term
mesolecithal
Definition
moderate yolk concentrated at the vegetal pole
Term
telolecithal
Definition
abundance of yolk densely concentrated at the vegetal pole
Term
centrolecithal
Definition
large centrally located mass of yolk
Term
Blastula
Definition
the result of clevage subdividing the mass of the zygote untill a cluster of cells is formed
Term
Ectoderm
Definition
the outer layer of cells surrounding the blastocoel
Term
Dipolblastic
Definition
organisms with two germ layers
Term
triploblastic
Definition
pertaining to mesoderm in which embryo has 3 germ layers
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
thrid germ layer formed in the gastrula between the ecto and endoderm
Term
coelome
Definition
the body cavity in triploblastic animals lined with mesodermal peritoneum
Term
Deuterostome
Definition
embryo developes and an anus first and forms a complete gut
Term
Invagination
Definition
when the vegetal plate bends inward and extends about 1/3 the way into the blastoceal
Term
Protosome
Definition
the blastopore becomes the mouth
Term
Acoelomate
Definition
an animal with out a coelome
Term
Pseudocoelomate
Definition
the fluid filled cavity surrounding the gut
Term
coelomate
Definition
earthworms and snails coelome is made by skitizocelie
Term
Induction
Definition
the alteration of cell fates caused by interactions with other cells
Term
Homeobox
Definition
a tightly condensed 180 base pair sequence, regelatory sequences of protien codes genes that reglate development
Term
amniotes
Definition
monophyletic grouping of vertebrates named because the embryos develope in a fluid filled sac
Term
amnion
Definition
the innermost of the extraembryonic memberanes forming a fluid filled sac around the embryo
Term
allantois
Definition
a sac that grows out of the hindgut and serves as a repository for metabolic waste during development
Term
chorion
Definition
lies just below the eggshell and completly encloses the rest of the embryonic systems
Term
marsupials
Definition
pouched mamals such as opossumn and kangeroo
Term
Allograft
Definition
a foreign transplant that has successfully evolved measures to supress the immune responce that would normally be mounted against it
