Animals evolved ____ my from ____
800 my from single-cell eukaryotes
Eukaryotes include protists who are:
METOZOANS=
ANIMALS
WHAT TYPIFIES AN ANIMAL?
PORIFERA= SPONGES LACK
TRUE TISSUE BUT ARE MULTICELLULAR
ANIMAL ANCESTOR IS?
CHOANOFLAGELLATES
- Belong Opisthokonta: fungi, animals, and them.
- protists (single cell or colonies)
Porifera
Diploplasty
Ctenophora
Comb jellies
Nerves
Cilia for motion
Predators
When did animals evolved?
510 my cambrian
Cambrian Explosion
Simultaneous appearance of metozoan phyla in fossil record (metoroans evolved before
cambrian but until expl osion fossils became carbon actions = fossilizable
Contributor to cambrian
Explosion
Deep Homology
occurs when convergent
evolution of traits involves
Homologous
tool-kit genes
Tool-kit genes
are
Developmental genes that establish body plan by duplication and
divergence
(regulation of timing of strenght of gene expression)
Opisthokonts
Clade of heterotrophic
organisms that i include fungi, ponifera
animals
Paedomorphis
Organism retains juvenile traits
into adult version → Dog , juvenile wolf)
Peramorphosis
Organism development is extended beyond en point ancestors = exaggerated /extended adult
traits
Cnidaria
Jellyfish and corals
-Diploblast
- HOX genes
Nerves and muscle
Radially symmetrical
Mutualist w/ protists = protists leave they
die
Homeosis
Body plan is modified ( change location of body
parts)
Tripoblasty
3rd step in animalia
evol.
- Ecto = epidermis and N.S
- EndO = lining digestive tract
_ mesoderm: muscle and organs
Metozoans have =
Coelom , bilateral symmetry
