Embryo Pracs
Primary oocyte
Ascaris 2n=4
Experiment 3 Gastrulation
Cleavage-after fert, zygote undergoes mitotic div to make blastula
Microlecithal-ectoderms, mammals (little yolk ) Starfish
Mesolecithal –Annelid,amphi, lungfishes Frog
Megalecithal arthropods, birds, reptiles and monotremes Chicks egg
Isolecithal- even distribution
Telolecithal- yolk favored to vegetal pole
Centrolecithal-yolk sa interior of egg, cytoplasm distributed as thin coat
1.1MICROLECITHAL EGG(starfish)
Unfertilized egg- has germinal vesicle, nucleoulus, vitelline membrane.
Fertilized egg- elevated viteline membrane called fertilization membrane, perivitelline space,
germinal vesicle broken down,
Cleavage division- holoblastic radial cleavage
1.2MEDIALECITHAL EGG
DARK ANIMAL HEMISPHERE,
LIGHT VEGETAL HEMISPHERE, MORE YOLK HERE
Look for nucleus, cell stages, fertliztaion membrane
2.1Blastula(hollow ball of cells)
Micro
Blastocoel- walls are epithelial cells,
Blastoderm- blastomeres arranged at the side of embryo enclosing blastocoel
Fertilization membrane- thin membrane, 2ndary membrane
NO ANIMAL AND VEG POLE
Meidalecithal
Animal pole-region of many smallers cells. (micromeres)
Vegetal pole-region of few big cells(macromerres)
Blastocoel-
