Metamorphosis in frog
• Development is in-direct in frog.
• Development is direct in all vertebrates except amphibia.
• Ovulation.
• Psuedocopulation.
• Oviposition.
• Insemination.
• Spawning.
• Fertilization.
Egg of frog
• Non-cleidoic
• Mesolecithal
• & telolecithal.
• A.P. contain female pronucleus, dark pigment & cytoplasm.
• V.P. Contain yolk, remain directed downward.
Pseudocopulation
• Male frog croaks during rainy night.
• Vocal sacks act as resonators.
• Male frog mounts on the back of female frog.
• Male clasps the female with copulatory pad.
• Amplexus.
• Oviposition:
• Female frog discharge 3000- 4000 eggs into the water.
• Insemination:
• Male discharge sperms on the eggs before reaching into the water.
• Fertilization: Fertilization is external taking place into the water.
• Sperms enter into the egg through any point in A. P.
• Cone of reception develop at the point where sperm touches the egg.
• Acrosome : +nt as cap on the head of Sperm.
• It secrets sperm lysin which dissolve hard cover of egg.
• Sperm enters into the egg with head & neck.
• 2nd Meiotic div takes place & 2nd polar body is formed.
• Grey crescent is formed in equitorial zone geometrically opposite to
entrance of sperm.
• Grey crescent marks the dorsal side of future embryo.
• Sperm entrance point marks anterior side of future embryo.
• Fertilization membrane is formed.
• Egg symmetry- before fertilization Radial.
• During fertilization Bilateral symmetry develop.
Cleavage
1st cleavage – meridional, holoblastic & eqaual. 2-blastomeres.
2nd cleavage – also meridional, holoblastic & eqaual. But perpedicular to 1st. 4-
blastomeres formed.
3rd cleavage – horizontal, holoblastic & unequal, just above the equator. 8-
blastomeres formed.
4th cleavage – two synchronous meridionial & Holoblastic. 16- blastomers formed .
5th cleavage – two simultaneous horizontal cleavage. 32- blastomeres formed..
After this micromeres divide more rapidly than megameres due to absence of
yolk..
Cleavage is indeterminate.
Blastula
• Blastocoel appear towards A.P.
• Blastula – coelablastula.
• Blastocoel contain albuminous fluid.
• Blastocoel start forming at 8-celled stage.
• Blastocoel is also called segmentation cavity.
• Uni-layered blastula.
Gastrula
Transformation of Single walled Blastula to double walled Gastrula
Differentiation of cells.
Formation of primary germ layers.
Formation of Blastopore.
Formation of Archenteron.
Formation of yolk plug.
Obliteration of Blastocoel.
Blastopore develops into future Anus.
Involves –
A) Epiboly
B) Invagination/ blastopore formation
C) Imboly /Emiboly/ involution/archenteron formation
D)Rotation of Gastrula.
E) Contraction of lips.
