A vertebrate is an animal with a spinal cord surrounded by cartilage or bone. The word comes from vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine. Animals that are not vertebrates are called invertebrates. Vertebrates include birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.

Vertebrate Characteristics

General characteristics of the sub-phylum Vertebrata are as follows: 
Vertebrates have a well developed brain.Brain is set inside a bony box, known as cranium.Notochord is present in all chordates during sometime of development, it is formed on the dorsal side of the primitive gut in the early embryo stage.Most vertebrates possess guts with a non-terminal anus. The mouth cavity and the oesophagus is connected by the pharyngeal gill slits to a muscular tube pharynx, which opens to the exterior.They possess a dorsal hollow nerve tube at some stage of their life. Possess a dorsal cartilaginous nerve rod known as the notochord. At some stage of their life possess gill slits in the pharyngeal region.Have partially open circulatory system.Possess two pairs of appendages.The endoskeleton is made of cartilage or bone.The first vertebrates were jawless fishes with single caudal fin.The advancement of vertebrates with a hinged jaw which opened new food options and jawed fishes became the dominant creatures in the sea.All vertebrates have a heart and closed circulatory system.Reproduction is normally sexual.Feed on variety of organic materials.Unisexual animals, have one pair of gonads.

Research and produce a summary about the history of the microscope.
svetlana [45]
Microscopes have been used for centuries in order to see specimen scientists cannot see with their unaided eye. Antón VanLeeonhoeuk is given credit for designing the first lenses for microscopes in the 16th century. He looked at “animacules” which we would now call bacteria and protists. Robert Hooke first coined the term cell, as he looked at cork and thought it looked like cells that monks slept in. Improvements were made in the following centuries, and Ernest Leintz in the 1800s creates a way to have differing magnification lenses on one microscope. Continuing into the 1900s and 2000s there are now electron scanning microscopes, ultraviolet microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and electron tunneling microscopes—all which allow scientists to have better resolution and to see smaller and smaller things. Microscope technology will continue to improve as scientists discover more ways to magnify the microscopic world.
