The ancestors of modern-day fish were vertebrate chordates. Vertebrate chordates are believed to have evolved from invertebrate

chordates, which were similar to modern-day tunicates.
What change must have occurred during the evolution from invertebrate chordates to vertebrate chordates?

A.
A backbone evolved to enclose the spinal cord, which develops from the dorsal nerve cord.
B.
An endoskeleton evolved to enclose the dorsal nerve cord, which develops from the notochord.
C.
An endoskeleton evolved to enclose the spinal cord, which develops from the notochord.
D.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, an endoskeleton evolved to enclose the dorsal nerve cord, which develops from the notochord.

Explanation:

It has been discovered that the ancestors of the modern-day fish were vertebrate chordates. The vertebrate chordates are considered to have evolved from the invertebrate chordates that are identical to the present day tunicates. It has been found that in vertebrates the endoskeleton has evolved to encompass the dorsal nerve cord that has been developed from the notochord (a characteristic of invertebrates).

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Mammals. There are no known cases of naturally occurring mammalian parthenogenesis in the wild. This is because mammals have imprinted genetic regions, where either the maternal or the paternal chromosome is inactivated in the offspring in order for development to proceed normally.
