A vertebral column. (a back bone)
no
They are actually true chordates, however they are some of the simplest chordates.
Chordates are animals that comprise the vertebrates. The three structures that are present during their development are the notochord, a tubular nerve cord and gill slits leading into the pharynx.
yes or no
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.
a ancestral trait is a distinguishing feature that has been past on from a ancestor
An ancestral trait is a trait that is shared by a group of organisms and their common ancestor. It is a characteristic that has been inherited from a common ancestor and has been passed down through generations without change.
A trait shared with a common ancestor is called an inherited or ancestral trait.
all vertebrates are chordates because vertebrates are the sub- group of phylum chordates and also it follow one of the important feature of the chordates i.e. presence of notochord whereas all chordates are not vertebrates because some chordates are cephalochordates, urochordates.
It has a nerve chord running down its back, the defining trait of all chordates.
One phylum trait of a mouse is being classified under the phylum Chordata, which indicates that mice possess a notochord at some stage in their development. This phylum trait is a defining characteristic of all chordates, including mammals like mice.
Derived traits are traits that appeared in the most recent common ancestor of the group and was passed on to it's decedents. Ancestral traits are inherited directly from the ancestor
I'm fourth generation Australian, a volatile mixture of Italian, Irish and Scots ancestry.
Yes. All chordates are coelomates.
There isn't a "popular name" for them. The most familiar chordates are the vertebrates, but not all chordates are vertebrates (tunicates, for example, are chordates).
people have forgotten their ancestral values. They have become robots nowadays.
One characteristic shared by all chordates is the presence of a notochord, a flexible rod that provides structural support. Humans, being classified under the phylum Chordata, possess a notochord during their embryonic development that eventually develops into the spinal column.
