Do great white sharks have backbones?
Sharks are vertebrates (they belong to the phylum Cordata), so they have a spinal chord. However they are also cartilaginous fishes (they belong the the class Chondrichthyes) meaning that their skeleton is made of cartilage instead of bone. They do have a cartilage sheath that surrounds their spinal chord which could be considered a spine. There could be a semantic debate over whether that constitutes a spine, but I for one think it does.
Do frogs have a skeleton made of hard bone or cartilage?
Amphibians are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone. The skeletal system is mostly made up of bone, but also contains some smaller portions of cartilage. Not all vertebrates have bone skeletons, Chondrichthyes (sharks, rays etc.) have skeletons made up entirely of cartilage. Amphibians however do not.

The make-up of a bone is essentially a joint surface which is covered in a cartilage layer with a spongy tissue underneath the cartilage called the cancellous bone. The compact bone is then the superficial layer with a connective tissue lining the superficial regions called the periosteum.

Ligaments connect bone to bone, tendons connect muscle to bone, and cartilage provides cushioning between bones in joints. They all help in stabilizing and supporting body structures during movement.
