Urochordata

Vedclass · Answer

(B) In the phylum $Chordata$,the subphylum $Urochordata$ (also known as $Tunicata$) is characterized by the presence of a notochord only in the larval tail. As the larva undergoes metamorphosis into an adult,the notochord disappears. In $Cephalochordata$,the notochord extends from head to tail region and is persistent throughout their life. In $Vertebrata$,the notochord is present during the embryonic period and is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column in the adult. Therefore,the correct option is $B$.
