- a. What is a larva?
- b. How does a larva differ from a juvenile form of an animal?
- c. By what process does a larva transform into a juvenile?
a.
To describe: The larva.
Introduction: Some animals including humans develop directly into adults. The life cycle of most of the animals include at least one larval stage.
Explanation of Solution
Larvae are juvenile forms of many animals. It is a free-living and sexually immature form of an animal. Animals with indirect development undergo the larval phase before metamorphosis into adults. Different animals have different types of larval forms that are generally different from the adult form.
b.
To determine: The way in which the larva differs from a juvenile of an animal.
Introduction: Metamorphosis is part of development. During metamorphosis, the structure and morphology of the animal are completely changed.
Explanation of Solution
The juvenile form of an animal resembles the adult physiologically. However, it is sexually immature. Therefore, the larva differs from the sexually mature adult.
c.
To determine: The process by which a larva transforms into a juvenile.
Introduction: Animals with indirect development undergo the larval phase before metamorphosis into adults. However, in most of the animals, the life cycle includes at least one larval stage.
Explanation of Solution
The larva transforms into a juvenile by metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is the developmental process, during which the complete change in the structure and morphology of the animal takes place.

- Describe the process of neurological development in a vertebrate embryo. B. Compare and contrast this process and the end result with that of a member of phylum cnidariaarrow_forward54. In protostomes and deuterostomes, the space between the endoderm and the ectoderm is important because: a) it provides a perfect environment that can be maintained for all the cells even if the outside environment change b) protostomes use their ectoderm to develop digestive organs inside it c) deuterostomes develop their brain from the mesoderm in this space d) the endoderm forms the immune system in this space, e) all are important.arrow_forwardHow do you expect Kartagener syndrome leads to infertility? A. The lack of a plasma membrane means that pathogens and foreign substances can permeate the sperm and damage the DNA B. The lack of microtubules mean the sperm do not have tails and cannot swim to fertilize the egg C. The lack of dynein means that the sperm cannot bend their tails to swim and fertilize the eggarrow_forward

- 4. Finding the size of a sea urchin embryo Observe the image of the sea urchin embryo. 50um Photo credit. Notice that the size of the scale bar is 50 um. Keeping this image available, watch the sea urchin embryo cell division movie. Calculate the diameter of a sea urchin embryo at the one-, two-, and four-cell stages. Show your calculations below. If that video doesn't play (it unfortunately requires Flash), you can try this similar but longer one that involves a longer story of sea urchin romance preceding fertilization and zygote divisions! It lacks a scale bar, but you can use the scale bar from the image above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4445zftLCDQ a. One cell-your calculations: b. Two cells-your calculations: c.
