Vertebrates are characterized by having a backbone or spinal column made up of individual bones called vertebrae. They also have a well-developed brain enclosed in a skull, a closed circulatory system with a heart that pumps blood, and paired appendages such as limbs or fins. Vertebrates typically have a protective outer covering, whether it be fur, feathers, scales, or skin.
The bird is included in the phylum Chordata because it possesses a notochord and a dorsal nerve cord during some stage of its development. However, birds are not included in the class Mammalia because they lack mammary glands, hair, and give birth by laying eggs, which are characteristics specific to mammals.
Actually, a fox belongs to the phylum Chordata, not Arthropoda. Arthropoda is a phylum that includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, characterized by having jointed legs and a hard exoskeleton. Foxes are mammals with a backbone, fur, and give birth to live young.
Giving an organism a scientific name in Latin allows for universal understanding across languages and regions. It helps prevent confusion between common names that vary by region or language. It also provides a standardized way to classify and study organisms based on their unique characteristics.
That's correct. Vertebrates are a subphylum of the phylum Chordata, which also includes organisms without backbones. Vertebrates are characterized by their spinal columns, or vertebrae, which give them structural support and protect their spinal cord.
An organism can only have one genus name as part of its scientific classification. The genus name is always capitalized and is used alongside the species name to give the organism its unique scientific name.
Lamarck give the idea that an organism can pass on their characteristics that it have acquired during its lifetime to its offspring. Also known as heritability of acquired characteristics.

Yes. A vertebrate is an animal that has a spine or a back-bone, and belongs to the sub-phylum Vertebrata. This sub-phylum includes animals like fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals like the moose.
Sponges belong to the Phylum of Porifera.
The phylum Chordata contains all animals that possess, at some point during their lives, a hollow nerve cord and a notochord, a flexible rod between the nerve cord and the digestive track. The phylum Chordata is an extremely diverse phylum, and the one most recognizable to us. The phylum contains about 43,700 species, most of them concentrated in the subphylum Vertebrata, making it the third-largest phylum in the animal kingdom. The phylum Chordata is divided into three subphylums: Urochordata (tunicates), Cephalachordata (lancelets), and Vertebrata (vertebrates). The first two phyla are very small containing only about 2,000 species total. Tunicates are marine animals that only show the attributes of the chordata phylum in the larva stage, and when they turn into adults lose the notochord and nerve cord. Adult tunicates look like small sacs around 3 cm tall attached to the ocean floor. Lancelets, which are similar in appearance to small fish, keep the nerve chord and notochord into maturity but are extremely simple in structure and lack a backbone. The third phylum, vertebrata, is the most important, and is distinguished by a backbone (made either of bone or cartilage) containing interlocking vertebrae and a skull enclosing a brain. These two features serve to protect the entire central nervous system, and in addition give support and structure to the body; these bones also form part of a larger system of bones, the endoskeletal system. Unlike the exoskeleton of other phylums such as the arthropods, which must be shed periodically, this endoskeleton is permanent and can grow with the organism. This endoskeleton gives vertebrates a competitive edge over all other animals, as it can easily be scaled for use in large organisms, and it allows these organisms to be relatively light and fast-moving. In comparison, most organisms with an exoskeleton are small and slow-moving, due to the limitations of their large and bulky skeletal system.

Adaptations. These are traits that have evolved to help an organism survive and reproduce in its specific environment. Adaptations can include physical features, behaviors, or physiological mechanisms.
The current system will classify organisms by Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Scientific names include the genus and species of the organism (like homo sapien for humans).
It is not possible to tell if the difference give an organism an advantage because you have not given the difference.

Phylum--Arthropoda Kingdom--Animalia And, I'll give you the class just in case. Class--Branchiopoda ^^ Hope this helps!
