  • Description
    • Chordates are common in all major habitats.
    • Tunicate larvae either seek out a place where they can attach and metamorphose into an adult or develop into adults that float in the open water.
    • Cephalochordates develop in the open water, but as adults they lie partially or entirely buried in sand and gravel.
    • In either case, they are filter feeders with simple behaviour.
    • Up to date with the latest information on chordate embryology.
    • The book contains topics on cellular basis of development, DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, reproductive cycles, parthenogenesis and regeneration.
