b
Option (2) is the correct answer.

Birds and mammals are homeotherms (warm blooded). Metameric segmentation is present in annelids, Arthropods and chordates.

Adult echinoderms are radially symmetrical but larvae are bilaterally symmetrical.

In most of the platyhelminths, single opening of digestive system serves the function of both mouth and anus.

MCQ 131 Mark
All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates, why?
  • A
    All chordates possess notochord throughout their life.
  • Notochord is replaced by vertebral column in adult of some chordates
  • C
    Ventral hollow nerve cord remains throughout life in some chordates.
  • D
    All chordates possess vertebral column.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Notochord is replaced by vertebral column in adult of some chordates
b
The correct answer is option (2) because the members of subphylum vertebrata possess notochord during the embryonic period.

So, all vertebrates are chordates.

The notochord is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column in the adult vertebrates.

In protochordates, vertebral column is not formed. In urochordates, notochord is present only in tail region in larval stage and in cephalochordates, it persists throughout life
so all chordates are not vertebrates.
