Which of the 4 characteristics of Phylum Chordata is visible on this organism?
Pharyngeal slits
Dorsal hollow nerve cord
Notochord
Post-anal tail
Humans are members of the phylum chordata. As such they have a
notochord. The notochord in humans;
Can be found next to their spinal chord
Has been lost to evolution entirely and is no longer a part of the human life
cycle
Becomes part of the brain stem
Is an embryological feature which is mostly absorbed by the backbone
The tapeworms (cercomeromorpha) are not considered to be segmented
animals because;
The "segments" of an earthworm only contain reproductive tissue
The segments of a tapeworm die when they break away
None of these answers is correct--tapeworms ARE considered segmented
animals
They have a scolex
