Answer all three

1. Identify two traits shared by members of the phyla Echinodermata and Chordata not seen in the other animal phyla you observed.

2. Hypothesize why the skeletons of vertebrates have the same general bone types.

3. What is an advantage of bilateral body symmetry?

Expert Solution

1. Two traits shared by members of the phyla Echinodermata and Chordata are:

Share similar embryonic development (anus first), formation of the mouth at the end of the embryo opposite the blastopore, radial cleavage (cells divide perpendicularly to line)

2. Fish, frogs, reptiles, birds and mammals are called vertebrates, a name that comes from the bony column of vertebrae (the spine) that supports the body and head. The rest of the skeleton of all these animals (except the fish) also has the same basic design with a skull that houses and protects the brain and sense organs and ribs that protect the heart and lungs and, in mammals, make breathing possible.

Each of the four limbs is made to the same basic pattern. It is joined to the spine by means of a flat, broad bone called a girdle and consists of one long upper bone, two long lower bones, several smaller bones in the wrist or ankle and five digits.

These features can be attributed to the presence of same general bone types in vertebrates.

3. Bilateral symmetry allows for a more streamlined body shape and offers more advantages for animals with active lifestyles than radial symmetry. The streamlined body creates less drag when moving through the watery environment, and thus less energy is required for movement.

please answer these questions all of them for quick 1. Pick two organisms that have traits that allow them to be perfectly adapted to their environments. For example, there are bright pink praying mantis that are perfectly camouflaged with pink flowers to allow them to be blended in with their environment so insects will not see them as they visit the flowers. Do not use the example provided as one of your organisms! 2. Provide a picture of each organism showing the...

Some phyla of fungi produce two types of spores: sexual spores and asexual spores. Mark all TRUE statements about these different spores below. Sexual spores will be dispersed from the parent and germinate to form a new mycelium. Sexual spores fuse to form a diploid cell or diploid nucleus. The sexual spores produced by a fungus will have different combinations of alleles from the parent fungi. Sexual spores are more commonly known as “gametes”. Sexual spores are genetically identical to...
