Assertion (A): All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrate.Reason (R): The members of subphylum vertebrata possess notochord, during the embryonic period, the notochord is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column in adults.
All vertebrates belong to phylum Chordata, but protochordates lack a vertebral column; in vertebrates, the embryonic notochord is replaced by a vertebral column.
Phylum Chordata includes non-vertebrate protochordates (Urochordata and Cephalochordata) where the notochord is not replaced by a backbone. In subphylum Vertebrata, the embryonic notochord is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column, making R the exact explanation of A.
