Embryology
EMBRYOLOGY

DEVELOPMENT * Sequential expression of the genes * Organisms proceeds from cell fertilized egg to adulthood to eventual death

Successful development * Has to follow the prescribe sequence in normal pattern

Three Fundamental Processes in Embryology: 1. Morphogenesis * (morph- = shape, + genesis = origin) * Origin of shape, form

2. Differentiation * Process of cells becoming different, and specializing for different functions 3. Growth * Increase in size, requires input of matter, food

Two Modes of Reproduction * SEXUAL * ASEXUAL (METAGENESIS)

Indirect development * Exhibited by the eggs of most marine invertebrates and those of many freshwater vertebrates * feeding larval forms that look and behave differently from mature adult * Eggs often contain rather limited food reserves and programmed for rapid differentiation
Direct development * Exhibited by eggs of mammals, birds and reptiles * Develops without passing through a highly specialized larval phase *
Oviparity and Viviparity
Oviparous - Animals that spawn (lay their eggs) * Viviparous – animals that give birth * Ovoviviparity - which embryos develop inside eggs that are retained within the mother's body until they are ready to hatch * Euviparity – designates the viviparous condition

Gametogenesis * Converts diploid (2N) into haploid cells (N), sperm or ova * Originated from stem cell which grow into primary oocyte and primary spermatocyte * Undergo meiosis

Stages of Development * Fertilization * Cleavage * Blastulation * Gastrulation * Neurulation * Organogenesis

STAGES OF ANIMAL DEVELOPMENT
FERTILIZATION
* Sperm release enzymes that pierce the egg’s coat. * Receptor protein of eggs – surface protein of sperm, plasma membrane fuse and nuclei combine * Change in polarization – only 1 sperm enters * Fertilization restores the 46

    6. Briefly describe the two meiotic events that contribute to genetic diversity in a population. Each gamete (sex cell) is unique due to a process during meiosis called cross-over which (simplified) swaps around some genes to create unique chromosome combinations. meiosis helps to create a population that is not only physically and genetically different but also one, which is perfectly fit to survive.…

    I did my report on filariasis, which is more commonly known as elephantiasis. Elephantiasis is the late phase of filariasis. Filariasis is a tropical mosquito born parasitic disease causing obstruction of the lymph vessels. In some people the presence of the worm causes a tissue reaction that causes the lymph flow to be blocked. This blockage produces lymphedema which is a swelling and can eventually lead to a tremendous enlargement of an extremity or organ.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to study the rate of phagocytosis of the specific protist known as Tetrahymena vorax. This certain kind of protist feeds at a normal rate when conditions are normal. We began the experiment of understanding how Tetrahymena feeds at normal temperatures. Doing so, we allowed the Tetrahymena to feed at specific time limits and then killed the protist with gluderaldheyde to detect how much the protist gained. We then counted how many food vacuoles were filled with India ink that was included in the environment of the Tetrahymena while the time was ticking. We then constructed a similar experiment with different conditions to compare if the rate of phagocytosis was affected by the change in conditions. Comparing the two environments, we found that indeed the rate of Phagocytosis was affected by a change in environmental conditions.…

    Embryo Selection

    Embryo selection otherwise known as Designer babies raises a number of social, legal and ethical implications. Embryo selection is when the genetic characteristics of an embryo are determined in the early stages of development. This makes it possible to determine whether a fetus is male or female. Embryo selection has also been used before implantation in the womb to enabled thousands of parents to avoid passing on serious genetic diseases to their offspring. It can also be used so that parents can select a tissue type before implantation to be the same as a sibling, who is critically ill and is relying on possible implants or blood transfusions from the designer baby. Ethical issues are tried to be avoided by limiting the number of embryos implanted and prohibits sex selection for nonmedical reasons. The selection of traits is perceived to be desirable but is would eventually end up to diminish variability within the gene pool, the raw material of natural selection.…
