Gametic life cycle
|
The only haploid cells are the gametes that are produced by meiosis and fertilize to form a
new diploid organism |
There are five key
innovations in animal evolution: |
1) The evolution of symmetry - the arrangement of parts either facing each other or around
an axis. 2) The evolution of tissues - tissues allow for specialized structures in animals that have different functions. 3) The evolution of a body cavity - having a body cavity allows for the development and advancement of organs. 4) The evolution of various patterns of embryonic development - allows for differences in body plan. 5) The evolution of segmentation - allows for redundant systems (each segment can duplicate another segment’s functions in case a segment gets damaged) and improved locomotion. |
