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]
I considered tadpole, but was thinking of the species and ruled it out, being that the species is chordate. I have to expand my thinking to outside the pond.

Good, one, venda.

I had 'tadpole' in mind when you said yes to amphibian, but I equated spinal chord (question #4) with the nerve chord present in tadpoles. I should have just gone with my instincts, and ignored what Mr Google was telling me.
#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.

In 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.

I now see that autocorrect mistakenly put underutilized for unfertilized. If this matters to your answer, chirp once; if it doesn’t, chirp twice.
