, 2.1 A LOOK THROUGHOUT THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
8 examples:
1) Coral
Early development of a fertilized egg. (Sperm and
eggs in sea water -> get fertilized -> coral start
growing).
From the egg to the planula = Planktonic phase
when the embryo will settle on a substrate +
undergo metamorphosis it enters the Benthic
phase
2) Snail eggs
- in clusters
- many eggs
- translucent: easy to observate the
development
3) Octopus
- used for research of development of CZS
4) Drosophila melanogaster
- first genetically tractable model organism
5) C. Elegans
- transparent for studying cell number and
programmed cell death
6) Chicken
- study variety of things on developing
embryo
7) Xenopus Laevis
- large eggs easy to observe + manipulate
