Ques. 1NEET 2017

Important characteristic that hemichordates share with chordates is

  1. ventral tubular nerve cord
  2. pharynx with gill slits
  3. pharynx without gill slits
  4. absence of notochord

Answer

(2) pharynx with gill slits

Solution

Chordates have three fundamental features: a notochord, a dorsal hollow (tubular) nerve cord and paired pharyngeal gill slits.

As per NCERT, hemichordates have a rudimentary structure in the collar region called the stomochord, which is similar to the notochord; they are now placed as a separate phylum under non-chordata.

Respiration in hemichordates takes place through gills, i.e. they possess a pharynx with gill slits.

∴ The characteristic shared with chordates is the pharynx with gill slits.
