Describe the biological basis for the 1 : 1 ratio of malesand females at conception in mammals.
Briefly discuss avian early embryonic development, starting with fertilization and oviposition, cleavage, gastrulation, and early organogenesis and morphogenesis in the developing avian embryo inside the egg.
A:
Why do sea urchins have external fertilization? [Discuss the life style of the developing sea urchin embryo in the water column compared to a very different ecological niche of the adults on the ocean floor. Besides, would you want to give live birth to a sea urchin! ouch!]
2:
Then why don't the parents take care of the young? [In fact the adults do in a way. After the embryo has grown large enough and metamorphosed into a young urchin they hide in the spines of the adults, living off of the scraps of food produced from the messy eating of the adults]
3:
Because the urchin life involves two or more ecological niches, they are more susceptible to predation and exposure to environmental toxins. What environmental conditions, predators and toxins might they be exposed to at each stage?

- Define and describe the main features of the following developmental stages: fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation.arrow_forwardReproductive modes can be defined based on energetic provisioning (lechithotrophy vs. matritrophy) or birth style (ovipary vs. vivipary). Reproductive modes related to birth style mostly fall into clear categories of energetic provisioning. Define the above four reproductive modes based on energetics and style that make them distinct. Be sure to mention WHEN the relevant events related to each occur. Finally, explain why the birth style of ovovivipary less clearly falls into any one of these categories...arrow_forwardThis question is about mammals. a) What is the one defining characteristic that determines a mammal? b) Compare and contrast the three types of mammals with respect to fetal development and birth: the monotremes (such as the platypus), the marsupials (such as kangaroos), and the placentals (such as humans or dogs). That is, where does most of the early development occur, how is the young mammal introduced to the world, and how does the young obtain nourishment once introduced to the world?arrow_forward

Blastocyst Morula Contains trophoblast and a zygote Contains 8 cells that are totipotent B. Blastocyst Morula Contains inner cell mass with germ layers Contains 8 cells that are totipotent C. Blastocyst Morula Contains trophoblast with germ layers Contains 16 cells that can become any cells in the human body D.

- During pregnancy, how does malnutrition during critical periods of development affect the fetus? Group of answer choices When the development of an organ is impaired, the damage is irreversible. If the development of the heart is impaired in the early stages, it can be reversed if good nutrition is provided after the critical period. Malnutrition does not affect the fetus but has adverse effects on the mother's health. Malnutrition does not cause dental problems as teeth develop after the baby is born. A surplus of nutrients taken after the critical period will make up for a deficit caused at any time during development.arrow_forwardExplain the developmental and functional similarities and differences between: 1. Avian yolk sacs and mammalian yolk sacs 2. Avian chorions and mammalian chorions 3.
