Chapter 12 What Is a Vertebrate?
Two friends are looking at fishes in an aquarium. One friend refers to the fishes as animals. The other friend argues that
fishes aren’t animals because they don’t have four legs. Which friend is correct? Explain your answer.
How does the structure of vertebrates help them to function?

Apply It!
1. How does the meaning of amphibian relate to the Greek word fromwhich it comes?An animal that lives for part of its life on land and part in water is livinga double life.
2. Can you think of an English word besides chordate that mightcome from the Greek word chordé?Sample: cord
3. In the list of key terms on the next page, find another termbesides endotherm that might come from the Greek wordtherme. Then look up the meaning of the key term and checkhow its meaning relates to the meaning of endotherm.An ectotherm is an animal whose body does not produce much internalheat. An endotherm, in contrast, is an animal whose body does produce internal heat to maintain its temperature.

Ancient Jawless Fish
Look backward in time, into an ocean 530 million years ago. There you see a strange-looking creature—a jawless fish—that is about as long as your index finger.

Characteristics of Fishes
Most fishes obtain oxygen through gills. Water flows into the mouth of the fish and then over its gills. Oxygen moves into the blood and is delivered to the cells of the fish.

The temperature of the developing eggs of the American alligator affects the sex ratio of the young. (Sex ratio is the number of females compared with the number of males.)

The Sex Ratio of Newly Hatched Alligators
The warmer the incubation temperature, the greater the proportion of males.
Drawing Conclusions:
What effect does the temperature of developing eggs have on the sex of the baby alligators?

The Sex Ratio of Newly Hatched Alligators
According to the graph, out of the 50 alligators that were incubated at 31.7ºC, about 40 (or 80%) were males. So 80% of 100 eggs (80) could be expected to hatch as males.
Calculating:
If 100 eggs developed at 31.7ºC, about how many of the young would be male?
