All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates, why?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
The members of subphylum Vertebrata possess notochord during the embryonic period. The notochord is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column in the adult. Thus all vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates.
