Step-by-step solution
Pharyngeal gill slits are present in all chordates and are involved in feeding or respiration.The notochord is a key feature of all chordates and may be replaced by the vertebral column in vertebrates.Chordates have a closed circulatory system, meaning blood is contained within vessels.The post-anal tail extends beyond the anus, which is a distinguishing feature of chordates.
