Verified

a) Examples of representing beings: vertebrates, protochordates (ascidians, amphioxus).

b) Basic morphology: notochord, branchial clefts, neural tube.

d) Type of symmetry: bilateral.

e) Germ layers and coelom: coelomates, triploblastics.

f) Digestive system: complete, deuterostomes.

g) Respiratory system: cutaneous (in adult amphibians), branchial (in aquatic), pulmonary (others).

h) Circulatory system: closed in vertebrates, open in protochordates.

i) Excretory system: kidneys in vertebrates, diffusion and flame cells in protochordates.

h) Nervous system: cerebral vesicle and single ganglion in protochordates, neural tube in embryos, brain within the cranium and spinal cord within the spinal column in vertebrates.

j) Types of reproduction: Is sexual, with or without larval stage.
