Correct.
A tadpole.Well done
I obviously new a tadpole would [b] eventually develop a backbone but not at the tadpole stage which is why I answered no to the chordata question.
Consider if the animal was a human embryo and the question was "do you have eyes"? wouldn't the answer be "no" ?[/b]
Good, one, venda.

#14 (Do you undergo metamorphosis?) was a big clue because of how it's worded... frogs don't undergo metamorphosis, but tadpoles do. 🙂
By the way, those two little dark spots on an embryos head are his (or her) eyes.

Originally posted by @lemon-limeIn reproduction, does the female of your species release (“lay” ) eggs that have been fertilized by the male inside her body (eg birds) as opposed to releasing underutilized eggs that find male sperm cells that are released by the male, typically in water, (eg fish)? A yes answer points more toward birds although not definitively; a no points toward fish.

Originally posted by @lemon-limeI now see that autocorrect mistakenly put underutilized for unfertilized. If this matters to your answer, chirp once; if it doesn’t, chirp twice.
