1
Q
characteristics of protochordates
A
- bilateral symmetry
- pharyngeal slits
- notochord

2
Q
subset of the larger group of animalia and share common features in development
A
basal deuterostomes
3
Q
- Cambrian to present
- starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sea dasies, and crinoids
- presence of calcium carbonate skeleton

10
Q
- acorn worms
- marine organisms that live in the mud under shallow waters; fragile when handles; 1.5 m
- with invertebrate and chordate features
A
hemichordates
11
Q
added acorn worms to Phylum Chordata
A
Bateson (1884)
12
Q
why did Bateson add acorn worms to Phylum Chordata
A
- dorsal, hollow NS
- gill slits
- stomochord
13
Q
- short diverticulum of the gut
- not homologous with the notochord
A
stomochord
14
Q
parts of the acorn worm
A
- proboscis
- collar
- trunk
15
Q
different parts of acorn worm trunk
A
- branchiogenital
- hepatic
- abdominal
16
Q
- marine chordates
- notochord is confined to the locomotor tail of the free-living larval stage and lost during metamorphosis into sessile adults
- encolsed within a delicate, nonliving, and colored transparent tunic
- filter feeders
- possess pharyngeal slits
A
urochordata
