Listen point Amhibians have 1 eggs and thus follow a pattern of cleavage A A Question 6 1 point 4 Listen When an individual is born from one parent via sexual reproduction we can say that the parent was dioecious sequential hermaphrodite

As compared to asexual reproduction sexual reproduction leads to many haploid individuals is a slow process that is less efficient in terms of the population growth energy expenditure ratio facilitates the transmission and persistence of mutations that are beneficial for the target individuals includes hermaphroditism and regeneration

reaction is not part of the fertilization process allow the sperm to cross the ectoderm layer includes the release of digestive enzymes by the sperm does not exist in all animals

hermaphrodite monoecious Question 21 1 point Listen When developping the embryo of a goat divides into an exponential number of blastomeres become polarised due to the presence and location of the yolk transforms into a blastula that do not contain a blastocoel completes a series of divisions that produce smaller cells

genic tree allows to categorize animals based on similarities in their patterns of development True False Question 18 1 point Listen Meroblastic cleavage happens in birds and fishes because they have a large amount of yolk in their eggs True

Sperm chemotaxis induces the directed locomotion of sperm when getting closer to the ovum is allowed by the attractants secreted by the ovum is due to the release of chemicals by the spermatozoa in the female reproductive system facilitates the meeting of sperm and ovum

Match the patterns of cleavage with the types of eggs or animals that follow them D spiral cleavage meroblastic cleavage radial cleavage holoblastic cleavage 1 telocithal egg 2 mesocithal 3 protostomes 4 deuterostomes

In deuterostome animals follow a radial cleavage spiral cleavage leading to mosaic embryo the anus comes first the mouth comes second the blastopore becomes the anus the mouth comes from the blastopore the mouth originates from the blastopore it comes from the mesoderm whereas in protostome animals

Question 2 1 point Listen Development is consisting in a series of hierarchical and timely changes regulated by genes a slow process producing cellular specialization and species continuity Question 3 1 5 points Listen Jon went on a school fieldtrip With his classmates they collected a bunch of lee that they brought back into their classroom s aquarium They numbered each lee in order to study the way they reproduce Jon knows that leeches are a type of annelids but he does not know which kind of reproductive strategy leeches follow Help Jon and his classmates Leeches reproduce by or are budding
