which characteristic do all vertebrates have in common as embryos
Why does a fish have more vertebrae than other vertebrate animals?

- Have scales and fins (No hair or fur)
- Cold blooded
- Lay many eggs
Is a woodpecker a vertebrate or an invertebrate?
Yes, as are all bird species.
Woodpeckers have spines, so are vertebrates.
Invertebrates have a hard outer shell, called an exoskeleton. Muscles are attached to the inside of the exoskeleton, and contraction of these flexes the joints.
It depends on what animal it is. A jellyfish, for instance, moves by swaying its body back and forth. A caterpillar uses its small legs to move.
I hope this helped... :D
During what period did the first vertebrates appear?
The first vertebrates evolved during the Cambrian Explosion about 525 million years ago. The Cambrian Explosion, obviously, occurred during the Cambrian period. The Cambrian period was part of the Paleozoic era.
Yes, a turtle is a vertebrate.
All reptiles are vertebrates, because they all have spines.
The spine of a turtle is attached to the inside roof of their shells. Making it physically impossible for them to shed shells or leave their shells.
What types of vertebrate the sugar glider?
A sugar glider is a small, nocturnal marsupial of the possum family (not opossums) about 16cm-21cm in length, and native to Australia, as well as some islands of Indonesia and New Guinea.
Sugar gliders live about 12-15 years in captivity, and 1-6 years in the wild, due to predation by other animals. They have black-tipped tails, a black line down their back, (ending with an arrow on the head) and have 1-3 joeys at a time. They come in a variety of colors, including albino (very rare), cinnamon, red-brown and, most commonly, grey.
Like other gliders, sugar gliders are unique in that they have a membrane of skin - patagia-membrane - which stretches from the fifth "finger" of each hand to the first toe of each foot, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly, but are capable of gliding up to 100m.

They have beaks
How do most vertebrate reproduce?
They reproduce asexually and sexually. After the female releases her eggs the male lets out a sperm which fertilizes the eggs.
Asexually probably by budding!
A few species provide some nurturing of the young.
Two differences to distinguish an invertebrate from a vertebrate?
A vertebrate has a spinal cord/bones, an invertebrate has a gelatinous body, a shell, a shell like body, or protective muscles. the quick answer is a vertebrate has a backbone and a invertebrate has no backbone. the hardest part about remembering is tha vertebrate and invertebrate sound so similar. :)

Is fungi vertebrate or invertebrate?
you would think that yeast is invertebrate because it has no backbone but actually yeast is a fungus which means that its niether
What is suggested by the similarity of early embryos of different species of vertebrates?
evolution from a distant common ancestor
Which group of vertebrates temperature is stable?
I don't fully understand the question, but from what I gather the two types are birds and mammals. Sorry if this isn't correct. Endothermic means self-regulating body heat by the way.
Are amphibians invertebrate or vertebrate animals?
No. Amphibians are not invertebrates. They have an internal skeleton including a backbone which makes them vertebrates.
The scientific classification of amphibians is:
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Subphylum: Vertebrata
- Class: Amphibia
The largest phylum of invertebrates is Arthropoda, which includes insects.
