Sea squirt: pp. 270-273
You will not be dissecting, but you will examine a preserved sea squirt, a whole mount slide of an adult sea squirt, and a whole mount slide of a larval sea squirt. Use the diagrams and the text in the lab manual to be able to localize structures and understand their functions. Where can you find the four major features of Phylum Chordata? Your laboratory instructor may, in addition, ask and/or quiz you on questions taken from the lab manual. Your notes and drawings:
Lancelet: pp. 274-277
You will not be dissecting, but you will examine a preserved lancelet, a whole mount slide of an adult lancelet, and slide(s) of cross sections through an adult lancelet. Use the diagrams and the text in the lab manual to be able to localize structures and understand their functions. How is the lancelet similar to a sea squirt? How is it different? Where can you find the four major features of Phylum Chordata? Your laboratory instructor may, in addition, ask and/or quiz you on questions taken from the lab manual. Your notes and drawings:
