Question
Chapter 32.4, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the early lineages of the living hagfishes and lampreys in the evolution of vertebrates along with their characteristics.
Introduction:
Hagfishes and lampreys both belong to the class Agnatha and phylum Chordata. These fishes are jawless and engulf their food with the help of a sucking mouth. The notochord in lamprey is surrounded by cartilage, but notochord in hagfishes is not surrounded by any membrane. Both these fishes are eel-like and do not have fins.

How does the presence of gill slits in all vertebrate embryos support the theory of descent from a common universal ancestor?
(5) Fishes and aquatic amphibians possess a lateral line system, while aquatic mammals and reptiles do not. In terrestrial amphibians, larvae have lateral line systems that disappear when the larvae metamorphose into adults. Please record on the phylogeny below where you believe the lateral line system evolved and/or was lost.
Which of the following is the correct classification for this chordate animal:
This vertebrate possesses hair and mammary glands. They are endothermic. This group gives birth to live young at a fetal stage. Most then nurture their young in a pouch.
