At some time in their life history, a chordate has 4 characteristics:Chordates
1. ______________________
Becomes gills in fish (and some amphibians); becomes auditory tubes and tonsils and thymus and parathyroid gland in terrestrial vertebrates.
3. ______________________
Supporting rod along the back;becomes vertebrate column in vertebrates
2. ______________________
Tubular and filled with fluid; in vertebrates it is called the spinal cord because it is protected by vertebrae (spine).

At some time in their life history, a chordate has 4 characteristics:Chordates
1. pharyngeal pouches
Becomes gills in fish (and some amphibians); becomes auditory tubes and tonsils and thymus and parathyroid gland in terrestrial vertebrates.
3. Notocord
Supporting rod along the back;becomes vertebrate column in vertebrates
2. dorsal tubular nerve cord
Tubular and filled with fluid; in vertebrates it is called the spinal cord because it is protected by vertebrae (spine).
