Vertebrates differ from other chordates primarily in having a backbone or vertebral column, which replaces the notochord found in other chordates during their adult stage. This backbone provides structural support and protection for the spinal cord, allowing for greater mobility and complexity in body structure. Additionally, vertebrates typically possess a more developed nervous system and a distinct head with specialized sensory organs, setting them apart from their non-vertebrate chordate relatives.

Why are protochordates not classified as true chordates?

any member of either of two invertebrate subphyla of the phylum Chordata: the Tunicata (sea squirts, salps, etc.) and the Cephalochordata (amphioxus). Like the remaining subphylum of the chordates, the Vertebrata, the protochordates have a hollow dorsal nerve cord, gill slits, and a stiff supporting rod, the notochord, the forerunner of the backbone. The protochordates differ chiefly from the vertebrates in not having a backbone. Recent protochordates are thought to have evolved from the same ancestral stock as that which gave rise to the vertebrates.

How does anatomy and circulation differ among amniotes?

Amniotes differ from earlier vertebrates in that they can complete their life cycle on land rather than in water. Earlier vertebrates had to have water to lay eggs at the minimum. Amniotes developed eggs with amnios which allowed the eggs to be laid on land or carried by the mother.
