Document Summary

Development: developmental patterns of embryos are highly conserved traits (controlled by a complex array of genes) and therefore are useful in determining evolutionary relationships. Cleavage: the first stage of development after fertilization; cell division that partitions the contents of the fertilized egg into many cells. Schizocoelus: a block of mesoderm forms near the blastopore and then the mass splits. Enterocoelus: outpockets from the primitive gut meet and fuse, lining the entire space with mesoderm; the space between the mesoderm is the coelom. Spiral cleavage: cells lie in furrows formed by the previous cleavage. Cells have a determinate cell fate which means early in development the fate of the cell is fixed. If a cell was removed the remaining cells would not develop normally. Radial cleavage: cells produced sit right on top of one another. Cells have an indeterminate cell fate where the fate is determined later in development.
