It is true that humans have notochords, however, this is true only when we are a developing embryo (we lose the this post-embryonic structure as adults). The notochord, being the stiff, supportive rod-like structure that it is, allows for us as vertebrates, to develop vertebrae. After the age of four, humans actually do have leftover PIECES of the notochord, which athletes may recognize as disks in between each vertebra within our spine.

As the embryo develops only jawless fish retain the notochord What does this indicate about the evolution of vertebrates?
The fact that jawless fish retain the notochord during development suggests that jawed vertebrates have evolved to develop without the notochord. This indicates that the notochord is an ancestral characteristic that has been lost or modified in the evolutionary lineage leading to jawed vertebrates.
At some stage of their development all chordates have a supportive rod along their back called the?

Do lions have a notochord?
Yes, lions, like all vertebrates, have a notochord. The notochord is a flexible rod-like structure present in the early stages of embryonic development that provides support for the developing spine.

Are poison dart frogs invertebrate or vertebrate?
As all frogs have a spine and notochord, they are bt definition vertebrates.
Is a frog in phylum cordata?
No, frogs belong to the phylum Chordata. This phylum includes animals with a notochord at some stage of their development, which is a defining characteristic of chordates.

Do cats exhibit a notochord at some stage of its development?
You did. Your backbone formed on the notochord. There are some fish, the lamprey, I think, that retain a notochord, These animals are chordates but not vertebrates.

How to get chordoma?
A chordoma is a rare type of cancer that develops from the notochord. The notochord forms the early spine in a foetus as it develops inside the womb. After about six months, most of the notochord is replaced by the bones of the spine. However, small amounts of the notochord may remain, and these can sometimes develop into a chordoma.
Is an animal with a backbone and gills but no notochord still a chordate?
The notochord is a flexible rod found in the embryos of all chordates, and is replaced later in life by the vertebral column and the main axial support of the body. If the animal you are referring to is an adult and lacking a "true notochord", it is still a chordate because the notochord has simply transformed into other parts of the body. However, if it is still an embryo and STILL has no notochord, it is not a true chordate.
What has the author James Musgrove written?

What happens to the notochord as a bat develops?
During the development of most vertebrates, the notochord becomes the nucleus pulpous. In some species, such as the sturgeon and hagfish, the notochord remains even after adulthood is reached.
