    The purpose of the lower chordate lab was to compare and contrast the body plans of various lower chordates through microscope observation and diagramming of Amphioxus and tunicate larvae. Key findings included that Amphioxus exhibits all four chordate characteristics as an adult, making it the "classical chordate", while the tunicate larva displays these traits but the adult does not, living a sessile lifestyle instead.

    Name:
    Purpose:

    Lower Chordata Lab

    to compare and contrast the body plans of various lower chordates

    Materials:
    Microscope, Amphioxus and tunicate slides
    Method:
    1. Use the microscope to view and draw a diagram of Amphioxus and a tunicate
    larva.
    2. Label as many structures as you can in each drawing.
    Results:

    Analysis:
    1. How are these 3 organisms similar and different?
    Amphioxus
    Tunicate
    Have all 4 chordate
    Have all 4 chordate
    characteristics as an
    characteristics as a
    adult
    larvae
    Adult is motile
    Adult is sessile but
    larvae is highly motile
    Has segmentation

    Acorn Worm
    Have only 3 cho
    characteristics
    a true notochor
    Adult is motile
    All marine

    2. Why is Amphioxus called the classical chordate?


    - Its the first organism to exhibit all 4 chordate characteristics as an adult.
    3. How does a tunicate larva compare to an adult tunicate?
    Larva
    Adult
    Motile
    Sessile
    Live 1-2 days
    Live rest of life
    Have a notochord
    Dont have a notochord
    Have a nerve cord
    Dont have a nerve cord
    Have pharyngeal gill slits
    Dont have pharyngeal gill slits
    Have muscular, post anal tail
    Dont have muscular, post anal t

    Very small

    Bigger
    reproduces

    4. Why is the Acorn worm not considered an invertebrate worm?


    - It has a dorsal nerve cord and gill slits.
