Which of the following was used to filter feeding in primitive chordates and has adapted to other functions in more highly evolved organisms?

Pharyngeal slits


Are vertebrates the largest group among the chordates?

Vertebrates are a subgroup of the chordates, meaning that all vertebrates are chordates, but not all chordates are vertebrates. Vertebrates are distinguished from other chordates by having backbones or spinal columns.All vertebrates have muscular systems that mostly consist of paired masses, as well as a central nervous system which is partly located inside the backbone (if one is present). The defining characteristic of a vertebrate is considered the backbone or spinal cord, a brain case, and an internal skeleton, but the latter is not true for lampreys, and the former is arguably present in some other chordates. Rather, all vertebrates are most easily distinguished from all other chordates by having a clearly identifiable head. Sensory organs--especially eyes--are concentrated at the foreend of the body, and there is pronounced cephalization.


What is the movement for chordates?

The movement for chordates is characterized by the presence of a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail at some stage of their development. These characteristics are unique to chordates and help differentiate them from other animal groups.


Do chordates have large brains?

Not necessarily. While some chordates, like humans and other mammals, have relatively large brains compared to their body size, not all chordates have large brains. Chordates range in complexity from simple organisms like tunicates to more advanced vertebrates like birds and primates.


Is ant chordate or non-chordate?

Ants and all other insects are non-chordates. Insects belong to the subphylum arthropoda. Animals that are vertebrates are considered to be chordates.


What are the unique features of chordates?

Chordates are characterized by having a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits or pouches, and a post-anal tail at some point during their development. These features set chordates apart from other animals and are key indicators of their evolutionary relationships.


how do lower chordates survive on their adaptive features?

echinoderms, cnidaria and other forms


Do pharyngeal slits disappear before birth in all chordates?

No, pharyngeal slits do not disappear before birth in all chordates. In some chordates, such as fish, these slits persist throughout their life and play a role in respiration and feeding. In other chordates, such as mammals, the pharyngeal slits do not persist through adulthood but are present during embryonic development.


What elements are least likely to react with other element?

Nobel gasses.


Several harmful effects of the chordates?

Some harmful effects of chordates can include overpopulation causing environmental imbalances, transmission of diseases to humans or other animals, and competition for resources leading to disruption of ecosystems. Additionally, certain chordates can be invasive species, displacing native species and causing harm to local biodiversity.


Is hydrogen argon sodium nitrogen oxygen or clorine least likely to react with other elements?

Argon is the least likely in the list to react with other elements, because argon is a noble gas and none of the other elements in the list is.


Which type of animals are close to chordates from evolutionary point of view?

Chordates are the common ancestors of fish and sharks. They include lampreys and other types of primitive fish species that live in the sea.
