Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
Chordates have a notochord at some stage of life, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, and paired pharyngeal gill slits. They are triploblastic, coelomate and bilaterally symmetrical, and they have a post-anal tail and a ventral heart.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
In vertebrates the notochord is replaced by a vertebral column in the adult.
