All vertebrate embryos have _____ at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor
aivan3 [116]

All chordates chare four structures. One of the is the tail. All vertebrate embryos have _<u>a tail</u>__ at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor.

<h3>What is the relationship between chordates?</h3>

The evolutionary relationship between species is reflected in the similarities or differences in the patterns of embryonic development.

All chordates belong to the Chordata phylum, and share four main characteristics,

  1. Notochord, which is a precursor of the dorsal spine.
  2. Nerv cord, dorsally located and parallel to the notochord.
  3. Pharyngeal clefts
  4. Tail

All chordates express these structures at some point in their lives, especially in the early stages of embryogenesis. Many of them can be lost with animal development and become vestigial structures.

The tail is a vestigial structure in many vertebrates.

Vestigial structures are those body parts, genetically determined, that have been retained during the evolution of the taxonomic group but have lost or reduced their original function.

Such vestigial structures were plenty functional in the ancestors of new species, but now are typically degenerate, stunted, or rudimentary, and tend to be much more variable than homologous non-vestigial parts

All vertebrates develop a tail at some point in their embryonic life, even humans. However, this structure lost its original function in several species, so after a period of embryogenesis, this tail disappears, and its forming vertebras get fussed with each other composing the coccyx.

In many animals, the function of the tail is to stabilize, equilibrate and mobilize. But in humans, for instance, the coccyx has lost this function but is still an area of muscle insertion.

The correct option is Tail.

All vertebrate embryos have _<u>a </u><u>tail</u><u>_</u> at some point during embryonic development, indicating a common evolutionary ancestor.

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by
Leto [7]

Answer:

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).

Explanation:

The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.

As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The excretory system does </em><u><em>not introduce more oxygen into the lungs</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>The </em><u><em>circulation of blood in and out of the lungs</em></u><em> is a function of the circulatory system. </em>
  • <u><em>Urine is not produced by breathing</em></u><em>.</em>
