Well, no they don't... There's a group of chordates called Agnatha which basically contains all the jawless chordates. And there are obviously limbless chordates present, the fishes and the snakes being the most well-known of the examples...

Do all chordates have fins?

Not all chordates have fins. While many aquatic chordates, such as fish, possess fins for swimming, other groups, like mammals (including humans) and birds, do not have fins. Instead, these animals have evolved different structures for locomotion, such as limbs for walking or wings for flying. Thus, fins are characteristic of certain chordate lineages but not a universal feature of all chordates.


All vertebrates are chordates but not all chordates are vertebrates?

all vertebrates are chordates because vertebrates are the sub- group of phylum chordates and also it follow one of the important feature of the chordates i.e. presence of notochord whereas all chordates are not vertebrates because some chordates are cephalochordates, urochordates.


A few characteristics of the turtle are listed below Segmented body Jaws and limbs No hair No placenta used during reproduction Where does the turtle belong in the cladogram shown below?

E, limbs (apex)


What does this cladogram tell you about evolutionary relationship of the traits of jaws and limbs?

The cladogram shows that the traits of jaws and limbs have evolved independently in these species. There is no clear correlation between the evolution of jaw traits and limb traits in this specific scenario. This suggests that these traits may have adapted to specific environmental pressures and constraints in a lineage-specific manner.

What is a characteristic shared by all chordates the phylum in which humans are classified?

All chordates are deuterostomes, meaning that in all chordates, the anus develops first during embryological development. All chordates are bilaterally symmetric. Most chordates have a complete digestive tract, and a body cavity. Note: not all chordates have these features, but it is believed that their absence in some chordates is secondary. All chordates are of course animals and eukaryotes.
