general characters of chodats
Answers
All the chordates possess four diagnostic characters either in the embryonic or adult stage.
1. Notochord:It is a solid un-jointed, stiff but flexible rod-like structure situated on the dorsal side between the dorsal hollow nerve cord and the alimentary canal.
2. Dorsal Hollow Nerve Cord:The nerve cord of chordates is always hollow and lies dorsal to the notochord.
3. Pharyngeal Gill Slits:All the chordates have at some stage of life, a series of paired narrow openings, the gill slits on the lateral sides of the pharynx.
4. Tail:It is a post-anal part of the body.Which is reduced or absent in many adult chordates.
Other Characters of Chordates:
These include bilateral symmetry, three germinal layers, segmentation, organ-system level of organisation, cephalization, coelom, endoskeleton, complete digestive tract, special organs for respiration and excretion, closed circulatory system, separate sexes, gonads with gonoducts and without asexual reproduction.
