    This document is an exam paper for a Zoology course on the Biology of Chordates and Comparative Anatomy. It contains multiple choice and short answer questions. The multiple choice section contains 5 questions testing knowledge of protochordates, fish locomotion, monotreme characteristics, heart structure in vertebrates, and cartilage types. The short answer section requires writing notes on protochordate features, neoteny/paedogenesis, bird affinities, integument functions, and ligaments. The descriptive section provides 7 mark questions on Agnatha classification/Amphioxus development, Pisces classification/fish scale types, bird migration/flight principles, chordate respiratory systems, and mammalian dentition
