Summary Introduction

To determine: Thematrix of six animal species showing different vertebrate characters.

Introduction: The phylum chordate contains various divisions and among them the vertebrate forms a significant category. The division vertebrate contains Reptilia, Pisces, Amphibia, Mammalia, and Aves. The advanced animals evolved from Pisces and continued through amphibian, reptiles, birds to mammals.

Table 1: The matrix of six animal species showing different vertebrate characters.

Embryonic development is a complicated process where a vast number of genes and signaling methods are required to accurately form the differentstructures of the growing fetus. The chordates share a large number of characteristics with the deuterostomes that indicate the origin of the chordates from the deuterostomes.

The features common to both deuterostomes and chordates include the presence of radial cleavage, first embryonic opening forming the anus. The vertebrates share unique characters that demarcate them from invertebrates and these include presence of hair, tail, and amniotic sac, which is not present in invertebrates.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…
