All fish are chordates. Chordates are vertebrates that have a hollow dorsal nerve called a notochord. They also have a central nervous system and gill clefts.

All vertebrates are chordates but not all chordates are vertebrates?

Do pharyngeal slits disappear before birth in all chordates?

No, pharyngeal slits do not disappear before birth in all chordates. In some chordates, such as fish, these slits persist throughout their life and play a role in respiration and feeding. In other chordates, such as mammals, the pharyngeal slits do not persist through adulthood but are present during embryonic development.


Do all chordates have fins?

Not all chordates have fins. While many aquatic chordates, such as fish, possess fins for swimming, other groups, like mammals (including humans) and birds, do not have fins. Instead, these animals have evolved different structures for locomotion, such as limbs for walking or wings for flying. Thus, fins are characteristic of certain chordate lineages but not a universal feature of all chordates.


Where can chordates be found?

First off, a Chordate is anything with a Notochord, aka, a spinal column. So, of course, all vertebrae are Chordates. But also nearly any animal that has an endoskeleton, be it bony or cartilaginous. So sharks are also chordates as are most fish.

What is a characteristic shared by all chordates the phylum in which humans are classified?

All chordates are deuterostomes, meaning that in all chordates, the anus develops first during embryological development. All chordates are bilaterally symmetric. Most chordates have a complete digestive tract, and a body cavity. Note: not all chordates have these features, but it is believed that their absence in some chordates is secondary. All chordates are of course animals and eukaryotes.


Is not a characteristic shared by all chordates the phylum in which humans are classified?

Yes, all chordates share the presence of a notochord at some stage in their development. However, the phylum Chordata is not specific to humans; it includes a diverse group of animals like fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals.

Do all chordates have jaws and limbs?

Well, no they don't... There's a group of chordates called Agnatha which basically contains all the jawless chordates. And there are obviously limbless chordates present, the fishes and the snakes being the most well-known of the examples...
