What is the embryonic structure in chordates that is usually replaced?

In chordates, the embryonic structure that is usually replaced is the notochord. The notochord serves as a flexible rod that provides support during early development but is typically replaced by the more rigid vertebral column (spine) in vertebrates. While it is prominent in the embryonic stages, the notochord may persist in some organisms, such as in certain species of invertebrate chordates.


Why would you be unlikely to find a notochord in an adult chordate?

In adult chordates, the notochord is typically replaced by the vertebral column (spine) during development, providing a more rigid structure for support and movement. While some primitive chordates retain the notochord throughout their life, most vertebrates exhibit a transition to a bony or cartilaginous backbone, which serves similar functions but offers greater protection and strength. Consequently, the notochord is usually only present in the embryonic stages or in specific chordate groups that do not develop a backbone.

Why do spiders not need a backbone?

Spiders do not have a backbone because they belong to a group of animals called arachnids, which have an exoskeleton instead of an internal skeleton. This exoskeleton provides support and protection for their bodies. Spiders are able to move and function effectively without a backbone due to this exoskeleton.


Why are animals without skeletons usually small and live in water?

There are various animals that are without a skeleton are usually small and live in water, like the squid. They are usually small and live in water because there is no backbone to support a large structure.
