Cell behaviour
During development, cells• proliferate
– divide to produce new cells
• undergo apoptosis– programmed cell death to remove cells
• differentiate– form different types of cells
![Page 3: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Embryonic development
Following fertilisation, the zygote passes through• cleavage
– rapid cell division
• gastrulation– development of basic features
• organogenesis– formation of organs from tissues
![Page 4: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Cleavage
• Zygote divides rapidly– zygote does not change size– cells are reduced in size with each division
• Cleavage follows predictable pattern– becomes less predictable as division proceeds
• Ends with formation of blastula– hollow ball of cells (blastomeres)– fluid-filled cavity (blastocoel)
![Page 5: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Patterns of cleavage• Pattern influenced by amount of yolk
– physical barrier to cleavage– displaces mitotic spindle
• Small amount of yolk (e.g. sea urchin)– symmetrical pattern of division
• Intermediate amount (e.g. frog)– uneven distribution
vegetal pole (most yolk) animal pole (least yolk)
– division slower in vegetal pole, resulting in larger blastomeres at that end

19-8Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint
Patterns of cleavage (cont.)
• Large amount of yolk (e.g. birds)– other cell contents displaced– blastodisc or blastoderm
• Mammalian eggs– eutherians almost yolk-free (nourishment from placenta)– cell division slow – distinct pattern of cleavage
inner cell mass (blastocyst) that gives rise to embryo outer layer produces placenta

Maternal control of cleavage
• Zygote genome does not control cleavage– enucleated zygotes divide normally
• Materials required for cleavage provided to egg during oogenesis
• Cleavage distributes materials unevenly– different blastomeres receive different materials in
different amounts– influences development
![Page 11: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Gastrulation
• Blastula with undifferentiated blastomeres– no specialised tissues– no organs
• During gastrulation – development of basic features of adult body plan
germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm body cavities: archenteron, coelom bilateral symmetry
![Page 12: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Primary germ layers
• Ectoderm – outer layer of gastrula
becomes outer body covering and nervous system
• Mesoderm– intermediate layer of gastrula
becomes tissues and organs
• Endoderm– inner layer of gastrula
becomes lining of gut and organs associated with gut

Sea urchin gastrulation
• At vegetal pole, epithelial cells flatten to form vegetal plate
– primary mesenchyme cells migrate towards animal pole
• Invagination to create cylindrical cavity– archenteron (cavity)– blastopore (opening)
• Secondary mesenchyme cells migrate into blastocoel and contact inner surface of blastoderm
– eventually fill remaining blastocoel

Clawed frog gastrulation
• At animal pole, presumptive mesoderm folds into cavity
– involution– earliest cells to do this give rise to notochord
• Ectodermal cells grow over presumptive endoderm– epiboly
• Animal hemisphere cells (ectoderm) enclose vegetal cells (endoderm)

Neurulation• Development of nervous system in vertebrates
– earliest organ system in embryo
• Ectoderm thickens along dorsal midline – neural plate
• Folds to form neural groove• Neural folds meet and fuse to form neural tube• Neural tube separates from ectoderm

Neural crest development
• Neural crest cells (from neural folds)– change from epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells– disaggregate and migrate through other tissues
• Give rise to– sensory nerve cells– autonomic nerve cells
• Contribute to– adrenal glands– connective tissues of head
![Page 23: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Mechanism of cell migration• Migration path of neural crest cells determined by
extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules– fibronectin– laminin– collagens
• Cells follow ECM molecule pathways– adhere via receptors on cell surface
• Change in nature of receptors on cell surface – ends migration– promotes aggregation
![Page 24: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Limb formation• Limbs develop from buds of ectoderm and
mesoderm– ectoderm thickest at tip of bud– causes underlying mesoderm to proliferate– bud elongates
• Tissues – cells aggregate to form cartilage– those that form muscle migrate in from around neural
tube and aggregate around cartilage
• Digits arise from local proliferation or apoptosis depending on organism
![Page 25: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Cell lineages
• Cells differentiate– develop specific form and function
• Stem cells can give rise to one or more types of cells
– unipotent (one cell type)– pluripotent (two or more cell types)
• Terminally differentiated cells cannot give rise to others type of cells
![Page 26: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Tissue maintenance
• Tissues are repaired or replaced by– division of differentiated cells
examples: liver cells, lining of blood vessels
– proliferation from stem cells examples: red blood cells, lining of intestine
– some tissues are not replaced examples: nerve cells, oocytes, cardiac muscle

Regulating development
During development, individual blastomeres respond to • internal signals
– within blastomere– cytoplasmic factors in different blastomeres influence fate
of those blastomeres during development– example: in sea squirts (phylum Chordata), blastomeres
with myoplasm become muscle cells
• external signals – from other blastomeres or extracellular matrix– other cells regulate cell fate (induction)– example: in clawed frogs (phylum Chordata) animal and
vegetal cells interact to induce mesodermal tissues
![Page 28: 19-1 Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Biology: An Australian focus 3e by Knox, Ladiges, Evans and Saint Chapter 19: Animal development](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102808/56649f525503460f94c75734/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Genetic regulation
• Activity of genes in a developing embryo controlled by internal or external signals
• Genetic activity causes cells to– divide– change shape– change connections with other cells– undergo apoptosis– differentiate

Early development in Drosophila (cont.)• Maternal genes establish polarity of embryo along
A–P and D–V axes• Bicoid gene determines A–P axis
– bicoid mRNA remains at anterior pole– diffusion gradient of bicoid protein– different concentrations of bicoid protein cause nuclei to
express different sets of genes
• Morphogens– regulatory proteins with a concentration-dependent effect
