Introduction
 Development
describes the
changes in an organism from its
earliest beginnings through
maturity.
Fertilization
 Fertilization
is the initial event in
development in sexual reproduction.



Union of male and female gametes.
Recombination of paternal and maternal
genes.
Restoration of the diploid number (two sets
of chromosomes).
Zygote
 The
diploid cell
resulting from
fertilization is now
called a zygote.


Photos in the following
slides illustrate
development in the
starfish (Phylum
Echinodermata).
Cleavage
 Cleavage
– rapid cell divisions following
fertilization.


Very little growth occurs while the cells are
dividing.
Each cell called a blastomere.
2 cell stage
4 cell stage

Morula
 Morula
– the name given to the solid
ball of cells that results from cleavage.
 First
5-7 divisions.

Blastula
 As
divisions continue, a fluid filled cavity,
the blastocoel, forms within the embryo.
 The resulting hollow ball of cells is now
called a blastula.

Gastrulation
 The
morphogenetic process called
gastrulation rearranges the cells of a
blastula into a three-layered (triploblastic)
embryo, called a gastrula, that has a
primitive gut (archenteron).

The Blastopore
 The
blastopore is the first opening in the
embryo – the point of invagination during
gastrulation.

The blastopore will eventually become
either the mouth or the anus.
 One
end of the gut-tube or the other.
 The
space that forms during this time is the
primitive gut, the archenteron.

Gastrulation
 The
three tissue layers produced by
gastrulation are called embryonic germ
layers.

The ectoderm forms the outer layer of the
gastrula.
 Outer


surfaces, neural tissue
The endoderm lines the embryonic
digestive tract.
The mesoderm partly fills the space
between the endoderm and ectoderm.
 Muscles,
reproductive system
Gastrulation – Sea Urchin
 Gastrulation
in a sea urchin produces an
embryo with a primitive gut (archenteron)
and three germ layers.

Gastrulation - Frog
 Result
is again an embryo with gut & 3 germ
layers.
 Gastrulation in the frog is more complicated
due to the moderate amount of yolk
present in the egg.

Blastula wall more than one cell thick.

Gastrulation - Chick
 Gastrulation
in the
chick is affected by
the large amounts of
yolk in the egg.

Embryo essentially sits
on top of large mass
of yolk.

 Primitive
streak – a groove on the surface
along the future anterior-posterior axis.

Functionally equivalent to blastopore lip in frog.
Gastrulation - Mammal
 In
mammals the blastula is called a
blastocyst.

Inner cell mass will become the embryo while
trophoblast becomes part of the placenta.
Inner cell mass
Trophoblast
Gastrulation - Mammal
 Gastrulation
in mammals involves the
inner cell mass and is similar to that of the
chick due to the fact that mammalian
ancestors and early mammals laid eggs.

The large mass of yolk may be gone, but
the developmental pattern remains.

Suites of Developmental
Characters
 Two
major groups of triploblastic
animals:
 Protostomes
include flatworms, annelids
and molluscs.
 Deuterostomes include echinoderms
and chordates.
Protostomes & Deuterostomes
 Protostomes
& deuterostomes are
differentiated by:




Spiral vs. radial cleavage
Mosaic vs. regulative cleavage
Blastopore becomes mouth vs. anus
Schizocoelous vs. enterocoelous coelom
formation.
Spiral vs. Radial Cleavage

Spiral cleavage –
occurs in most
protostomes.
 Some
ecdysozoans
show radial or
superficial (insects)
cleavage.

Radial cleavage – is
found in most
deuterostomes.
 Tunicates
and
mammals have
specialized cleavage
patterns.
Mosaic vs. Regulative
Development
 Mosaic
development – cell
fate is determined
by the components
of the cytoplasm
found in each
blastomere.


An isolated
blastomere can’t
develop.
Protostomes
 Regulative
development – the
fate of a cell depends
on its interactions with
neighbors, not what
piece of cytoplasm it
has.


A blastomere isolated
early in cleavage is
able to from a whole
individual (e.g. twins).
Deuterostomes
Fate of the Blastopore
 Protostome
means
“first mouth”.
 Blastopore
becomes the
mouth.

The second
opening will
become the anus.
 Deuterostome
means “second
mouth”.
 The blastopore
becomes the anus
and the mouth
develops as the
second opening.
Blastopore

Coelom Formation
 The
coelom is a body cavity found in
many triploblastic organisms that is
completely surrounded by mesoderm.
 Not all protostomes have a true coelom.


Pseudocoelomates have a body cavity
between mesoderm and endoderm.
Acoelomates have no body cavity at all
other than the gut.
Coelom Formation
 In
protostomes that
have a coelom, a
mesodermal band
of tissue forms
before the coelom is
formed.
 In the process of
coelom formation
called schizocoely,
this mesoderm splits
to form a coelom.
 In
enterocoely, the
coelom forms as
outpocketing of the
gut.
 Typical
deuterostomes have
coeloms that develop
by enterocoely.

Vertebrates use a
modified version of
schizocoely.
Question 8
Radial cleavage is found
primarily in which group?
 Protostomes

cleavage
