Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Cattle belong to the phylum Chordata.All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five synapomorphies, or primary physical characteristics that distinguish them from all the other taxa.
The name “chordate” comes from the first of these synapomorphies, the notochord, which plays a significant role in chordate structure and movement. Chordates are also bilaterally symmetric, have a coelom, possess a circulatory system, and exhibit metameric segmentation.
