Respuesta :
Yes, since it has a backbone, it is a vertebrate. All vertebrates are chordates.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
If the organism has backbone then it implies that it is a vertebrate. Being chordate doesn't mean the organism must have the notochord throughout the life. If an organism has a notochord in early embryonic stages but later on it disappears with due course of time and development then also the organism can be categorized into chordates. Not only this but also, presence of backbone indicates that the organism is a vertebrate for sure. Also, all vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates. It simply means that an organism can be both a chordate as well as vertebrate but being a chordate doesn't guarantee that it is a vertebrate because all chordates do not have backbone/vertebral column.
