Which body part represents the notochord in vertebrates? a. backbone b. limbs c. head d. pharynx e. jaw

Answer : The correct answer is -

A. backbone.

Notochord can be described as a rodlike, flexible structure, composed of mesoderm derived cells. It is considered as the fundamental structural element in chordates and of the early embryo of vertebrates as it plays a organizational role in the development of nervous.

In later development of vertebrates, notochord becomes a part of the vertebral column.

In other words, it gets replaced during embryonic development of embryo by backbone in higher chordates or vertebrae of the vertebral column.

Thus, backbone is the right answer.

a notochord is definitely the backbone. it appears as a tiny flexible rod made from mesoderm cells. which is one third of the layer of embryos.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
