Vertebrates, Cates, and Hemicord Animals Explained

  • SEO stands for Seal, Embryonic Stage, and Vertebral Column; Cates are not vertebrates but all vertebrates are Cates.
  • Cates are not vertebrates due to the absence of a vertebral column, distinguishing them from vertebrates.
  • Vertebrates have a vertebral column from head to tail throughout their life, a defining feature.
  • Characteristics of hemicord animals include a warm body, body division into phosis colar trunk, and prosis gland for excretion.
  • Differentiation between cyclical and non-cyclical mouth organisms, with examples like fish, highlighting features such as circular mouth, scales, and migratory properties.
