Group of answer choices found between the digestive tract and nerve cord [ Choose ] in some embryos this develops into the central nervous system [ Choose ] in invertebrate chordates can be involved in filter food from water ingest through the mouth [ Choose ] in jawed fish this provides support for the jaw [ Choose ] provides skeletal support [ Choose ] is derived from the ectoderm

Answer 1

1. Notochord.

2. Dorsal hollow nerve cord.

3. Pharyngeal slits.

4. Pharyngeal slits.

5. Notochord.

6. Dorsal hollow nerve cord.

Step-by-step explanation:

A living system can be defined as the internal systems found within living organisms and how different materials circulate within these organisms.

Generally, these living systems are self-organized life forms and are known to be very much interactive with their surroundings or environment. Also, living systems are dependent on the flow of information, matter and energy at various levels.

Some examples of living systems in organisms are respiratory system, nervous system, circulatory system, and digestive system.

A chordate can be defined as an animal found in phylum chordata of the animal kingdom such as vertebrates, cephalochordates, tunicates, etc.

The four (4) shared anatomical features or characteristics of chordates includes the following;

1. Notochord: found between the digestive tract and nerve cord.

2. Dorsal hollow nerve cord: in some embryos this develops into the central nervous system.

3. Pharyngeal slits: in invertebrate chordates can be involved in filtering food from water ingest through the mouth.

4. Pharyngeal slits: in jawed fish this provides support for the jaw.

5. Notochord: provides skeletal support.

6. Dorsal hollow nerve cord: is derived from the ectoderm.
