Gastrulation 1. the main events 2. 3 germ layers a. endoderm b. mesoderm c. ectoderm 3. two great groups of animals C. Neurulation
Day 1: fertilization 10 hours
1. Cleavage blastula morula Two accomplishments of cleavage
2. Gastrulation Germ layers ectoderm mesoderm endoderm blastopore
3. Fate of the germ layers Blastopore?
Two great groups of animals Protostomes: blastopore becomes a mouth Deuterostomes: blastopore becomes an anus
Neurulation Neural tube develops from the endoderm
II. HOX genes Evolutionarily conserved gene sequences
III. Theories of aging Genetic clock theory 1. Protein in non dividing cells 2. Telomeres and embryonic cells 3. Diseases of aging: Progeria and Alzheimer’s 4. Organs programmed 5. Genes for aging in fruit flies and mice 6. Ink4 protein Wear and tear theory 1. Errors in DNA replication 2. Accumulation of metabolic garbage 3. Environmental insults Reproductive obsolescence
