Question
The chordates share several features which have played a significant role in the evolution of the phylum. Check all of the features that one would use to exclusively classify members of Chordata and not members of Echinodermata.Check All That Applya postanal tail during embryonic developmenta postanal tail during embryonic developmentpharyngeal pouches during embryonic developmentpharyngeal pouches during embryonic developmentan endoskeletonan endoskeletona notochord on the dorsal side of the gut in the early embryoa notochord on the dorsal side of the gut in the early embryodeuterostomic development of the embryodeuterostomic development of the embryoa hollow nerve cord
Solution
The features that one would use to exclusively classify members of Chordata and not members of Echinodermata are:
- A postanal tail during embryonic development
- Pharyngeal pouches during embryonic development
- A notochord on the dorsal side of the gut in the early embryo
- A hollow nerve cord
The feature of deuterostomic development of the embryo and an endoskeleton are not exclusive to Chordata, as they are also found in Echinodermata.
