Concept explainers
To determine:
Some model of vertebrate and invertebrate animals that have involved into the scientists knowledge of general biology and animal biology. Enlist the other genomes of animals that scientists have sequenced and what is the resulting uncovering?
Concept Introduction:
Vertebrate and invertebrate animals have greater contribution to the scientific study of animal biology. The study of animal is important to the scientists for understanding the modern biology. The model organism such as round worms, mice, yeast and drosophila are used to investigate the molecular mechanism and other function of a eukaryotic cell. These organisms are chosen on the basis of their ease for genetic analysis.

- Using the following terms, explain what classifications and groups humans fall into, from the most general to the most specific: symmetry, germ layers, coelom, embryological development.arrow_forwardHow can evolutionary relationships among organisms be determined by comparing embryonic development? A. Embryos of fish and mammals share no similarities B. Embryos retrace their ancestral stages during embryonic development C. Embryos of more closely related organisms show greater similarities in development D. Embryos that develop inside eggs lack similarities to placental mammalsarrow_forwardSearch the Internet about the evidence suggesting that birds and dinasours are closely related. If scientist could extract DNA from dinasour fossils, how could they use the sequence to learn more about the origin of birds?arrow_forward
- Based on their anatomical and behavioral differences, biologists previously placed humans and chimpanzees in different families, but now DNA sequence data suggest that they are closely related and should be placed in the same family. What are some advantages of using DNA sequences to decide how to classify organisms? What might be some disadvantages?arrow_forwardIf you are a scientist studying the evolution of animals, what is the best approach you can use for analysis? analyzing behaviors of living animals with a common ancestry analyzing embryos and skeletons of animals of the same species analyzing DNA sequences and embryonic development analyzing the the fossilized remains of animals from different time periodsarrow_forwardWrite briefly about the "hobbit" species of hominin. What are the theories about its evolution? What was the species like? When and where did it exist? (Homo floresiensis)arrow_forward
- "Neanderthals have revealed interesting elements of the human genome". What are those elements ?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the correct order for the four developmental phases in animals? A. Segmentation of the body B. Determination C. Cell differentiation D. Formation of body axes a. A, B, C, D b. A, D, C, B c. D, A, B, C d. D, A, C, Barrow_forwardHow is modularity beneficial to animal specialization during the course of evolution? Illustrate your explanation with an example.arrow_forward
- Discuss the idea that every evolutionary adaptation has both advantages and disadvantages, using each of the following as an example: (a) cephalization,(b) the arthropod exoskeleton, and (c) segmentation with specialization.arrow_forwardHuman embryos have tails which become tail bones before birth. Tails also appear in fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals Humans also have hair and produce milk to nourish the young, which is unique to mammals. What does this indicate? a close evolutionary connection between humans and many other mammals a very distant evolutionary connection between humans and many other mammals a very distant evolutionary connection between humans and many other reptiles a close evolutionary connection between humans and many other reptilesarrow_forwardExplain how vertebrate evolution was led by cephalization, jaw development, and paired limbs. To further your answer, provide three vertebrates as examples.arrow_forward
