During embryonic development, the vertebral column is replaced by the notochord.
Reptile [31]

Hello! The answer is false.

It is actually the opposite. The notochord is a primitive axial skeleton, and in humans, it disappears. It eventually becomes part of the vertebral column, which is the backbone that we have today.
