Question
Chapter 26.8, Problem 1BC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The shared derived character is common to the chordates.
Introduction:
The chordates exoskeleton serves a very different purpose. Among early-diverging chordates, the endoskeleton consists of a single flexible rod located dorsally, deep within the body. Muscles move this rod, and their contractions cause the back and tail end to move from side to side, permitting a swimming motion in water.
