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.

Describe the relationship between fungal structure
stepladder [879]
Fungi are more related to animals than plants because they are not photosynthetic. They can be harmful because they do not respond to traditional antibiotic but they are also commercially beneficial especially in the food industry that uses yeast like baking, brewing and cheese and wine making. The pileus is the term given to the cap-like structure of the fungi. It supports the spore-bearing surface which is the hymenium which consists of lamellae, tube or teeth on the underside of the pileus. Annulus is the ring-like structure found in the stipes of some species of mushroom and is a remnant of the partial veil. Stipe is the stem or stalk of the mushroom that supports the cap of the mushroom. Volva is the caplike structure found at the base of the fungi which is a remnant of the universal veil. Hypha is the long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus that is the main mode of vegetative growth. Each fungus has a vast number of these hyphae which are intertwined to make a tangled web called mycelium. Through mycelium, fungus absorb nutrients from its environment.
