- Figure 29.3 Which of the following statements about common features of chordates is true? The dorsal hollow nerve cord is part of the chordate central nervous system. In vertebrate fishes, the pharyngeal slits become the gills. Humans are not chordates because humans do not have a tail. Vertebrates do not have a notochord at any point in their development; instead, they have a vertebral column.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a feature common to most animals? a. development into a fixed body plan b. asexual reproduction c. specialized tissues d. heterotrophic nutrient sourcingarrow_forwardFigure 27.9 Which of the following statements about diploblasts and triploblasts is false? Animals that display radial symmetry are diploblasts. Animals that display bilateral symmetry are triploblasts. The endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract and the respiratory tract.
