water flow in opposite

directions.

6

Compare &

contrast the three

birthing methods

found in

vertebrates

7

Oviparous – lay eggs that hatch outside

the body

Ovoviviparous – allow eggs to hatch

inside the body and then young are

birthed alive

Viviparous – mother directly nourishes

the young which are then born alive

8

Name and describe the three types

of caudal fins that may be found in

fish

12

Skate or Ray?

14

What are the three Classes of

fish and what do the words

actually mean?

15

Agnatha – Jawless Fish

Chondrichthyes – Cartilaginous Fish

Osteichthyes – Bony Fish

16

Describe the difference

between bony fish in

Subclass Actinopterygii

and Sarcopterygii. Which

one has more evolutionary

significance for tetrapods?

17 Actinopterygii – Ray finned fish with

fins attached at multiple points

Sarcopterygii – Lobe finned fish with

fins attached at a single point

Tetrapods evolved out of the Sarco line

22

What are two differences

between the circulatory

systems of fish &

amphibians?

23

Fish – 2-chambered heart and a

single-circuit system

Amphibians – 3-chambered heart

and a dual-circuit system

24

What is the name for an

amphibian’s ability to breathe

through its skin and why does

this cause amphibians to be more

susceptible to environmental

toxins?

25 Cutaneous Respiration

Capillaries close to the skin

surface allow toxins to

absorb into the blood

stream along with gasses

26

Define the following terms:

Paedomorphosis

Amplexus

27 Paedomorphosis – the retention of

juvenile traits in the adult form

Amplexus – frog reproduction

strategy in which the male mounts

the female, squeezes out her eggs,

and then sprays them with sperm

30 Random VSI True/False…

1. A 2nd blue dot appears if a heartworm test is

negative (Lesson 2)

2. Cats breed quicker than dogs (Lesson 1)

3. People who believe in animal welfare do not

agree with horse racing (Lesson 3)

4. Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease

(Lesson 4)

1. A 2nd blue dot appears if a heartworm test

is negative (False)

2. Cats breed quicker than dogs (True)

3. People who believe in animal welfare do

not agree with horse racing (False)

4. Cryptosporidiosis is a zoonotic disease

(True)

32

Describe the difference

between the skin of frogs

versus toads and how the

skin relates to the lungs.

33 Frog skin is wetter and smoother than

toad skin. This is because frogs live in

wetter environments and rely more on

cutaneous respiration than toads. Toads

have better lungs and are thus not as

reliant on their skin for gas exchange

34

What is the name of the first

transitional animal that was

able to spend any real time

on land thus linking the fish

and amphibian lines?

35

Tiktaalik

36

37

Caecilian Mudpuppy

Newt Poison Dart Frog

38

What are the three Orders of

Class Amphibia and what

specific amphibians reside in

each Order?

39

Apoda – Caecilians

Anura – Frogs & Toads

Caudata – Salamanders

40

What are the two salamander

Families and what is the basis for

the distinction between members of

the two Families?

41

Salamandridae- True

Salamanders

Plethodontidae – Lungless

Salamanders

42

Name the 5 types of Vertebrates. Which one is not

a Tetrapod?

37

Fish, Amphibians,

Reptiles, Birds, &

Mammals

Fish are not tetrapods

44

Name the animal and Phylum/Subphylum

45

Lancelet

Cephalochordata

Acorn Worm

Hemichordata

Sea Squirt

Urochordata

46

Hemichordates seem to

bridge the gap between the

Chordates and the lesser

animals by the their nervous

system is oriented. Explain…

47

Half of the nervous system is

oriented ventrally like the

lesser animals and the other

half is oriented dorsally like

the Chordates

48

Urochordates seem to “de-evolve”

during their lifespan. To what

“de-evolution” is this question

referring?

49 As they grow from their larval form to

an adult, Urochordates lose their

cephalization, their mobility, and their

notochord while their nerve cord

almost disappears completely

50

What are the seven

characteristics shared by all

members of phylum

Chordata in at least some

portion of their lifespan?

51 Bilateral Symmetry

Segmented Muscles

Dorsal Nerve Cord

Notochord

Deuterostomes

Pharyngeal Gill Slits

Post-anal Tail
