Chapter 32, Problem 17TYK

Walking along a rocky coast one day, you discover two small creatures—one lumpy and the other worm-shaped. What anatomical studies would you conduct to determine whether or not they are chordates? What genetic studies might provide supplementary evidence?

Which of the following is the correct classification for the following chordate animal: These animals are chordates but do not have a backbone or cranium.  They have all five features of chordates into adulthood.  The notochord extends into its head.   Question 27 options:   a)  Birds    b)  Anura / Frogs   c)  Urodela / Salamanders   d)  Superclass Agnatha   e)  Monotreme   f)  Eutharia   g)  Reptiles (non avian)   h)  Class Chondrichthyes   i)  Cephalochordata   j)  Class Osteichthyes   k)  Marsupial
In vertebrates, what anatomical structure partially or completely replaces the notochord? 1.) lateral-line system  2.) cartilage or a bony skeleton  3.) endostyle  4.) dorsal hallow nerve cord
The following image is from a scientific publication by paleontologist Niel Shubin, who was part of a team who discovered the earliest known tetrapod, Tiktaalik. What does the image say about the bones in the fins of fish (on the left side) when compared to the bones in their tetrapod ancestors (on the right side)? (Image from Shubin et al., 2006).
