Chordates, members of the phylum Chordata, are part of the clade Deuterostomia. Chordates include the vertebrates (animals that have a vertebral column, or backbone) as well as three groups of invertebrates.

Part A - Derived characters of chordates

All chordates share a set of derived characters during at least some part of their life.

Drag the labels to their correct locations on the diagram of chordate characters below. Use blue labels for blue targets and pink labels for pink targets.

All the vertebrates are chordates – and all tetrapods are vertebrates – and all amniotes are tetrapods. Each of these leading to the amniotes resulted in major morphological change. a) How do you explain the major differences in terms of evolutionary selection for each of these groups? b) Why are intermediate organisms (like the Tiktallik) often species which don't survive for long periods in the fossil record?
