What is the difference between a vertebrate and an invertebrate?
Vertebrates are animals with an internal support structure (endoskeleton). Invertebrates do not have an internal skeleton, but they may have an exoskeleton.

How long do adaptations take to develop?
Many generations

What do the lines in a concept map represent?
They represent connections between concepts.
