Fish- only vertebrate that has gills its whole life
Bird- Only vertebrate with feathers
Reptile- Dry scaly skin
Mammal- only vertebrate that doesn't lay eggs
Amphibian- Spend half of their life in water
Any animal that has a ertebral vcolumn or "backbone" is called Vertebrate .It is not valid taxonomic category .
Basic characteristics: a spinal column made up of vertebrae. In adult vertebrates, the spinal column surrounds or replaces the notochord
Other characeristics:
The basic characteristics of each vertebrate group are as follows:
Mammals:
Birds:
Reptiles:
Amphibians:
Fish:

No. Birds, fish and reptiles are each a classification of "vertebrates" of their own. They all have quite different characteristics.
starts with 2 kingdoms vertebrates and invertebrates the vertebrat kingdoms is split up in to 5 kingdoms are reptile, mammal. bird, fish and anphibian
Vertebrates share a common ancestor because they all descended from a single, ancestral species that had a backbone. Over time, this ancestral species diversified into the many different types of vertebrates we see today through the process of evolution and natural selection.
with there lungs.
Vertebrates are just that vertebrates, that ALL have a backbone, fish, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, marsupials, primates, rodents... etc.
The Genes that control development in different vertebrates are only slightly different from each other
Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Fish are ecothermic, aquatic vertebrates. Amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates. Birds and mammals are endothermic vertebrates.
The three classes of sponge skeletons are siliceous or glass sponges (Class Hexactinellida), calcareous sponges (Class Calcarea), and sponges with a fibrous protein skeleton (Class Demospongiae). Each class has unique structural characteristics that support the sponge's body.

Each state and the federal government has a different system for ranking "levels" of crimes. A class one is either the most serious or the least serious, depending on the system.
