The phylum Chordata is defined by four characteristic traits: Pharyngeal gill slits, a notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, and a muscular post-anal tail.
There are three subphyla of Chordates: Urochordata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrates.
So it depends on what species you are dealing with if you are looking at specifics. But a spine is not a characteristic of all chordates.
no the do not inverdabrates because the in init means no verdabrate
all chordate have a backbone at some stage during their life cycle and is often known as a notochord. it is a diagnostic feature of vertebrates
No Chordates doesn't possess backbones or spinal cord! Chordates with backbones are classified as Vertebrates.
Chrodates (eg: fishes) has notochord ( a flexible rod shaped body)
Yes, vertebrates have a backbone.
no they do not have backbone
i think invertebrates has backbone's but vertebrate's does not have backbone's
invertebrates
Yes. They lack a backbone.
The animal kingdom is divided into two major groups vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have a backbone and invertebrates does not have a backbone.
Invertebrates are animals that do not have a backbone. The benefit of not having a backbone is that they are more flexible.
Invertebrates, vice versa is verterbrate.
Mollusks are invertebrates because they do not have a backbone.
Invertebrates have no backbone, muscles are attached to outer shell.
Yes, mosquitoes are invertebrates as they have no backbone.
No, heartworms are invertebrates and have no backbone.
well classifying invertebrates is rather simple just find out if they have a backbone or not cause vertebrates have a backbone while invertebrates don't
Squid are invertebrates; they have no spine.
no backbone
invertebrates
No. They are invertebrates.
Ladybugs an invertebrates they have no backbone
Yes. Any animal without a backbone is an invertebrate. A sponge is a invertebrate because it has no backbone.
animals without backbones are invertebrates. octopi and squids have no shells, but are invertebrates because they contain no backbone. if they had a backbone, they'd be vertebrates.
