Sharks and their relatives have cartilage.
Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone and an internal bony skeleton and include fish such as barracudas.
No! They are made of cartilage.
All true fish have backbones. It is part of the definition of "fish."
Yes. All fish are vertebrates and they have backbones. A shark's skeleton is different because it is cartilage instead of bone, but sharks do have spines.No sharks do not have a backbone. Backbones are made up of, well, bone; sharks have no bones they have cartilage instead. Their "backbone" is made up of cartilage.
bony; the only cartilaginous fish currently in existence are sharks, skates, and rays.
Yes, rays are cartilaginous fish, which means they have skeletons made of cartilage rather than bone. So, rays do not have backbones like bony fish, but they do have a flexible skeletal structure that helps support their bodies.
yes and the wiki answers are a lay don't believe in thi
Fish who are made of cartilage.
sharks dont have bones... their skeleton is made of cartilage
One difference is that fish are bony. Sharks have a skeleton made of cartilage (like in your nose or kneecap). Sharks have five to seven gill slits, while fish only have one. Fish have swim bladders for bouyancy, sharks do not.
All of the true fish have backbones, because they are all vertebrates, and are classed as fish partly on the basis that they have a backbone. Jawless fish (Agnatha - hagfish, lamprey) do not have a true backbone, but they do have a stiffening rod that runs the length of the fish and serves the same purpose. It can be thought of as a primitive back bone. So, to answer your question; all true fish have backbones. This of course excludes things like Starfish and Jellyfish; these are not actually fish, and do not have backbones.
