Sperm Structure and Sperm Structure and FunctionFunction
Animal sperm has Animal sperm has four major four major compartments: compartments: the head (the the head (the
acrosome)acrosome) the neck (a the neck (a

Sperm Structure and Sperm Structure and FunctionFunction
In plants, sperm develop from pollen In plants, sperm develop from pollen grainsgrains
Pollen are several haploid cells from Pollen are several haploid cells from meiosismeiosis
Pollen cell comes into contact with Pollen cell comes into contact with the stigma and divides by mitosis to the stigma and divides by mitosis to produce two sperm nucleiproduce two sperm nuclei

Animal Cleavage Animal Cleavage and Gastrulationand Gastrulation
CleavageCleavage CleavageCleavage is the set of rapid cell is the set of rapid cell
divisions (without growth) that follows divisions (without growth) that follows fertilizationfertilization

Embryonic TissuesEmbryonic Tissues
Animal embryos develop three types Animal embryos develop three types of tissues, called of tissues, called germ layers:germ layers:
EctodermEctoderm forms the outer covering and forms the outer covering and nervous systemnervous system
MesodermMesoderm gives rise to muscle, gives rise to muscle, internal organs, and connective tissues internal organs, and connective tissues such as blood and cartilagesuch as blood and cartilage
EndodermEndoderm produces the lining of the produces the lining of the digestive tract or gut, along with some digestive tract or gut, along with some of the associated organsof the associated organs

Most animals also undergo gastrulation, a rearrangement of the embryo in which one end of the embryo folds inward, expands, and eventually fills the blastocoel, producing layers of embryonic tissues: the ectoderm (outer layer) and the endoderm (inner layer).

Only one cleavagestage–the eight-cellembryo–is shown here.
2 The zygote of an animal undergoes a succession of mitotic cell divisions called cleavage.
