Question
Answer
Type of symmetry in Chordates... # of tissue layers, and location of their senses( include special name)   Bilateral... all bilateral animals have 3 tissue layers and they have cephalization ( senses concentrated in anterior end ... have a head)  
🗑
What do chordates have that allow them to have more complex organs and systems   a true body cavity ( they are coelomate... have a coelom)  
🗑
What chordates share with annelids and arthropods that allows them to be more flexible and have regions that are specialized   segmentation  
🗑
Which phylum has a close relationship with chordates when the embryo development is studied   echinoderm  
🗑
special characteristic of chordate that is a flexible rod along back or animal ( dorsal side) and in vertebraes it develops into the backbone   notochord  
🗑
this chordate characteristic is above the notochord ...during development the anterior end becomes the brain and the posterior becomes the spinal cord   dorsal hollow nerve cord  
🗑
Chordate characteristic that evolved into gills in aquatic chordates and is evidence of aquatic ancestry for land vertebrates   pharyngeal pouches or slits ( slits on the pharynx--throat area)  
🗑
A chordate characteristic that is located beyond the anus , mostly for locomotion   postanal tail  
🗑
What is special about the classification category of vertebrate   it is a subphylum of the phylum chordate... a group of chordates have backbones. not all chordates a few are invertebrates  
🗑
Two invertebrate chordates   lancelet and tunicate

🗑
Name the types of amphibians   frogs and toads, salamanders and newts, caecilians,  
🗑
Name the kinds of reptiles   lizards and snakes,crocodiles and alligators ( and other crocodilia), turtles and tortoises  
🗑
Which type of crocodilia has a thinner snout and some of the lower teeth show when the mouth is closed   crocodile  
🗑
What name is given to the wormlike, legless, tropical amphibian that is rarely seen   caecilian  
🗑
what are the kinds of cartilage fish   sharks, skates, and rays  
🗑
what bird is sometimes confused for a mammal ( it may have feathers that are so thick they look like fur)   penguin  
🗑
what are two kind of jawless fish   hagfish and lamprey  
🗑
the only north american marsupial   Opossum  
🗑
3 kinds of lobe-finned bony fish   coelacanth, lung fish, and the ancestor of tetrapods  
🗑
the lobe-finned fish that is a living fossils and was though to be extinct but is found periodically... they study it to see if they can determine the evolution of land vertebrates   coelacanth  
🗑
Two mammals with little hair and have bodies covered by scaly stuctures... one lives in China or Africa and the other lives in United States and other Southern locations   Pangolin and Armadillo  
🗑
the only mammal that flies... don't get it mixed up with a bird   Bat  
🗑
Two monotreme mammals   spiny anteater, duckbill platypus  
🗑
A whale is in which chordate class?   mammal  
🗑
Name 4 birds that might be in your backyard   goldfinch, cardinal, oriole, bluebird, blue jay, robin, etc  
🗑
something that fish have in evolutionary development that is not in tunicates or lancelets   they are all called vertebrates  
🗑
What was the evolution development between the lamprey and the shark or other cartilage fish   jaws  
🗑
some bony fish ( called lobe-finned fish) have an evolutionary development that helped vertebrates move to land... they have   lungs  
🗑
What type of environments are fish friendly? what covers the skin of most, and what do they use for respiration   aquatic, scales, gills  
🗑
What fish have to detect vibrations in water ( helps them sense what is around them..like ears), and also helps them with balance   lateral line system  
🗑
Which animals have a single loop circulation system... from heart, to get oxygen, to body and back to heart   fish  
🗑
How many chambers make up the heart of a fish... what are the chambers   2, atrium and ventricle  
🗑
What are 3 special features of jawless fish   no scales, no paired fins, notochord entire life  
🗑
what were the 2 firsts for cartilage fish   first jaws and first paired fins  
🗑
What makes up the skeleton of sharks, skates, and rays   cartilage  
🗑
what is true about the teeth of many sharks and their skin   they have rows of teeth that can be replaced if lost and their skin is rough like sandpaper  
🗑
Which type of bony fish have bones in their fins   ray-finned  
🗑
Which type of bony fish has fins with muscular lobes and joints similar to land vertebrates ( making the fins more flexible)   lobe-finned  
🗑
the first land vertebrate was called   a tetrapod  
🗑
The plate of bone over the gills is only found in ? fish and is called a/an   bony fish.... and called the Operculum  
🗑
what is found in bony fish that acts like a balloon to control their depth in the water   swim bladder  
🗑
amphibians are decendents of   tetrapods that decended from lobe-finned fish  
🗑
What are 3 things that were needed for amphibians to move onto land... 3 things that had to develop for life on land   strong limbs, lungs, ears( hearing) for sensing environment( lateral line won't work on land)  
🗑
What does amphibian mean... explain   double life they must go back to water for fertilization, and egg development ( eggs are not covered with protective shells)  
🗑
What do amphibians use for respiration   lungs, moist skin, and the lining of the mouth ( THEY DO NOT HAVE SCALES)  
🗑
Amphibians typically have ? legs... but it that a total requirement.. explain   4 legs. not a total requirement. Caecilian is legless and some salamanders don't have 4 legs  
🗑
What is true about the circulation loops and the chambers of the amphibian heart   amphibians have a 2 loop circulation ( one loop from heart to lungs to get oxygen then back to heart.... 2nd loop from heart to body and back to heart... they have 3 chambers ( 2 atria and a ventricle that is not divided
