38.9 Overview of Animal Development
• All sexually reproducing animals begin life as a zygote, the
diploid cell that forms at fertilization
• The same development steps and processes occur in all
vertebrates – evidence of their common ancestry
5 Stages of Vertebrate Development
• Fertilization
• Sperm penetrates an egg, the egg and sperm nuclei fuse,
and a zygote forms
• Cleavage
• Mitotic cell divisions yield a ball of cells (blastula); each
cell gets a different bit of the egg cytoplasm
• Gastrulation
• Cell rearrangements and migrations form a gastrula, an
early embryo that has primary tissue layers
5 Stages of Vertebrate Development
• Organ formation
• Organs form as the result of tissue interactions that cause
cells to move, change shape, and commit suicide
• Growth and tissue specialization
• Organs grow in size, take on mature form, and gradually
assume specialized functions

Details of Frog Development (1)
• Cleavage divides a zygote’s cytoplasm into smaller
blastomeres
• Number of cells increases, but the zygote’s original volume
remains unchanged
• cleavage
• Mitotic division of an animal cell

Here we show the first three divisions of cleavage, a process that
carves up a zygote’s cytoplasm. In this species, cleavage results in a
blastula, a ball of cells with a fluid-filled cavity.

• In this species, cleavage results in a blastula, a ball of cells
with a fluid-filled cavity (blastocoel)
• Tight junctions hold cells of the blastula together

Details of Frog Development (3)
• The blastula becomes a three-layered gastrula by the
process of gastrulation: Cells at the dorsal lip migrate inward
and start rearranging themselves
• gastrula
• Three-layered developmental stage formed by gastrulation
• gastrulation
• Cell movements that produce a three-layered gastrula
Germ Layers
• A gastrula consists of three primary tissue layers (germ
layers)
• Three germ layers give rise to the same types of tissues and
organs in all vertebrates – evidence of a shared ancestry
• germ layer
• One of three primary layers in an early embryo
Three Embryonic Germ Layers
• ectoderm
• Outermost tissue layer of an animal embryo
• endoderm
• Innermost tissue layer of an animal embryo
• mesoderm
• Middle tissue layer of a three-layered animal embryo

• Organs begin to form as a primitive gut cavity opens up
• A neural tube, then a notochord and other organs, form from
the primary tissue layers
• Many organs incorporate tissues derived from more than one
germ layer

Details of Frog Development (5)
• In frogs, and some other animals, a larva undergoes
metamorphosis: a remodeling of tissues into an adult form
• The tadpole is a swimming larva with segmented muscles and
notochord extending into a tail
• During metamorphosis, the frog grows limbs, and the tadpole
tail is absorbed

38.10 Early Marching Orders
• Egg cytoplasm includes yolk proteins, mRNA transcripts,
tRNAs and ribosomes, and other proteins
• Some cytoplasmic components are not distributed evenly, but
localized in one particular region or another
• cytoplasmic localization
• Accumulation of different materials in different regions of
the egg cytoplasm
Cytoplasmic Localization
• In a yolk-rich egg, the vegetal pole has most of the yolk and
the animal pole has little
• In some amphibian eggs, pigment molecules accumulate in
the cell cortex, close to the animal pole
• After fertilization, a gray crescent forms, where substances
essential to development are localized
Experiment: Cytoplasmic Localization
• At fertilization,
cytoplasm shifts, and
exposes a gray
crescent opposite the
sperm’s entry point
• First cleavage normally
distributes half of the
gray crescent to each
descendant cell

A Many amphibian eggs have a dark pigment
concentrated in cytoplasm near the animal
pole. At fertilization, the cytoplasm shifts, and
exposes a gray crescent-shaped region just
opposite the sperm’s entry point. The first
cleavage normally distributes half of the gray
crescent to each descendant cell.

C In another experiment, a zygote was
manipulated so one descendant cell
received all the gray crescent. This cell
developed normally. The other gave rise
to an undifferentiated ball of cells.

Cleavage: The Start of Multicellularity
• During cleavage, a furrow appears on the cell surface and
defines the plane of the cut
• The plane of division is not random – it dictates what types
and proportions of materials a blastomere will get
• Each species has a characteristic cleavage pattern
From Blastula to Gastrula
• At gastrulation, certain cells at the embryo’s surface move
inward through an opening on the surface
• Cells in the dorsal (upper) lip of the opening are descended
from a zygote’s gray crescent
• Gastrulation is caused by signals from dorsal lip cells
Gastrulation in a Fruit Fly
• The opening cells move in through will become the fly’s
mouth; descendants of stained cells will form mesoderm

• Dorsal lip of a salamander embryo was transplanted to a
different site in another embryo – a second set of body parts
started to form

Specialized Cells, Tissues, and Organs
• All cells in an embryo have the same genes
• Selective gene expression causes different cell lineages in
the embryo to express different subsets of genes
• Selective gene expression is the key to cell differentiation –
the process by which cell lineages become specialized in
composition, structure, and function
Cell Differentiation
• An adult human has about 200 differentiated cell types
• Example: Cells of one lineage turn on genes for crystallin,
a transparent protein that forms the lens of the eye – no
other cells in the body make crystallin
• A differentiated cell still retains the entire genome
• It is possible to clone an adult animal (a genetic copy)
from one of its differentiated cells
Cell Communication in Development
• Long-range intercellular signals (morphogens) diffuse out
from certain embryonic cells and form a concentration
gradient in the embryo that controls differentiation
• morphogen
• Chemical encoded by a master gene; diffuses out from its
source and affects development
• Effects on target cells depend on its concentration
Cell Communication in Development
• Other chemical signals only operate at close range
• Example: Cells of a salamander gastrula’s dorsal lip cause
adjacent cells to migrate inward and become mesoderm
• embryonic induction
• Embryonic cells produce signals that alter the behavior of
neighboring cells
Cell Movements and Apoptosis
• Long-range and short-range signals regulate development of
tissues and organs
• Organs begin to form as cells migrate, entire sheets of tissue
fold and bend, and specific cells die on cue
Cell Movements in the Brain
• Neurons form in the
center of the brain, then
creep along extensions
of glial cells or axons of
other neurons until they
reach their final position
• Once in place, they
send out axons

A Cells migrate. This graphic
shows one embryonic neuron
(orange) at successive times
as it migrates along a glial cell
(yellow). Its adhesion proteins
stick to glial cell proteins.

Neural Tube Formation
• Sheets of cells expand and fold to form the neural tube
1. Gastrulation produces a sheet of ectodermal cells
2. Cells at the embryo’s midline elongate and neighboring
cells become wedge-shaped, forming a neural groove
3. Edges of the groove move inward, and flaps of tissue fold
and meet at the midline, forming the neural tube
• The neural tube later develops into the brain and spinal cord

Apoptosis
• Signals from certain cells activate self-destruction in target
cells (apoptosis), which helps sculpt body parts
• Apoptosis causes a tadpole to lose its tail and it separates the
digits of the developing human hand
• apoptosis
• Mechanism of cell suicide
Apoptosis
• As a human hand develops, cells in the webs of skin between
digits die

Pattern Formation
• Pattern formation is the process by which certain body parts
form in a specific place
• Example: Signals from AER (apical ectodermal ridge) at the
tips of limb buds induce mesoderm beneath it to form a limb
• pattern formation
• Formation of body parts in specific locations
Experiment: AER and Limb Formation
• AER of a limb bud tells mesoderm under it to form a limb
• If AER from a chick’s wing bud is removed, wing development
stops
• Earlier positional cues determined what the mesoderm will
become – mesoderm from a chick’s hindlimb implanted under
wing AER forms a leg

Evolution and Development
• Where and when particular genes are expressed determines
how an animal body develops:
• Localized molecules in an unfertilized egg induce
expression of master genes in the zygote
• Products of master genes form gradients in the embryo
• Depending on where they fall within these gradients, cells
activate or suppress other genes
Evolution and Development (cont.)
• Positional information set up by concentration gradients of
products of master genes affects expression of homeotic
genes, which regulate development of specific body parts
• All animals have similar homeotic genes
• homeotic gene
• Type of master gene; its expression controls formation of
specific body parts during development
Evolution and Development (cont.)
• Evolution of body plans are influenced by physical constraints
(such as surface-to-volume ratio) and existing body
framework (such as four limbs)
• Interactions among master genes also restrain evolution,
since a major change in any one probably would be lethal
• Mutations led to a variety of forms among animal lineages by
modifying existing developmental pathways, rather than
entirely new genetic innovations
Key Concepts
• Principles of Development
• The same processes regulate development of all animals
• Division of the single-celled zygote distributes different
materials to different cells
• These cells go on to express different master genes that
regulate formation of body parts in particular places
