Derived characters of chordates: all chordates share 4 derived characters, although some species possess some of these traits only during embryonic development. Figure 34. 3: subphylum urochordata, sessile marine suspension feeders, draws water in through incurrent siphon, filtering food particles, tunicates possess the chordate characteristics during their larval stage. Lancelets: subphylum cephalochordata, marine suspension feeders, retain chordate features throughout lifespan, see figure 34. 4. A notochord located along the dorsal part of the larva. Concept 34. 2: craniates are chordates that have a head: subphylum craniata, the origin of the head in chordates allowed some to become active predators, shared characters in craniates, cranium, brain, eyes and other sensory organs.
