Internal fertilization
External fertilization
Describe the development of the notochord. Include the terms primitive pit, notochordal process, notochordal canal, neurenteric canal, notochordal plate, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm in your descriptions. Include labeled diagrams in your description. With respect to the developing notochord, where is the cloacal membrane, allantois, embryonic ectoderm, embryonic endoderm, and embryonic mesoderm with reference to the developing notochord.
Darwin’s finches (Thraupidae, Passeriformes) have beaks of different shapes that allow them to feed on many different diets: insects, seeds, berries, and young leaves. For example, large ground finch has a very deep and broad bill adapted to crack hard and large seeds, while the cactus finch has an elongated and pointy beak for probing cactus flowers and fruits. Geospiza finch bills develop their distinct shapes during embryogenesis and are apparent upon hatching.
Figure below is species-tree estimation of phylogenetic relationships among the Galápagos finches using mtDNA and nuclear loci information.
***Branch lengths are proportional to time and genetic distance except for abbreviated basal node depth.***
Photographs of profiles of each species are shown.
Identify all species pair(s) who have the most similar DNA sequence and clearly explain why. Would Ce. fusca and Ce. olivacea be considered as one of the pair with the most similar DNA sequence given that "branch lengths are…

This refers to the fact? a) all the ectoderm cells remain the same b) the cells derived from the endoderm to form osteocytes that secrete collagen c) the cells of the endoderm form chondrocytes that become notochord d) genes are activated or surpressed in the cells from the original mesoderm causing them to become chondrocytes and osteocytes the stem cells that sequentially produce the componets of the skeleton e) genes are not involved in this function?arrow_forward1 page: Describe the radiation in vertebrate forms from phylotypic stage by focusing on three groups of vertebrates and then tracing the development of several homologous features in each group.

- What conclusion can be drawn from embryological development? Insect and bird wings are similar in function but not in structure. Paleontologists have used fossils to trace the evolution of the modern camel. Many organisms have structures with no apparent function found during embryo development. The presence of gill slits and tails in early vertebrate embryos shows that they may share a common ancestor.arrow_forwardCnidarians (and ctenophores) are diploblastic animals. What is the fate of the ectodermal and endodermal cells in cnidarians?
