Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Tigers and goldsih share the same phyllum because they both posses the basic characteristics of animals in the phyllum chordata. These characteristics include;

  • Possession of notochord. The notochord is a rod-like structure that serves supportive functions and develops into the vertebral column in some group of chaordates.
  • Posession of post-anail tails which is an extension of the posterior end of the of the body.
  • Possession of dorsal, hollow nerve chord which eventually forms the brain and the central nervous system.
  • Possession of pharyngeal gill-slits, an opening that develops into gill arches in golfishes and jaws in tigers.
