Chordates are animals that possess certain key features in an embryonic state that may persist into adulthood
In some chordates, the neural tube will develop into a spine and the notochord will form a protective backbone
- These features include a notochord, hollow dorsal neural tube, pharyngeal slits and a post-anal tail
In some chordates, the neural tube will develop into a spine and the notochord will form a protective backbone
- These chordates are grouped into a sub-phylum (vertebrata) and include birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and fish
