Why do adult urochordates (tunicates) lack notochords, even though larval urochordates have them?
A) Larvae use notochords to aid in swimming; adults are sessile and, thus, no longer need notochords.
B) Larvae use notochords to stiffen their bodies; in adults, the notochord is replaced by a column of bone.
C) Larvae use notochords to induce tissue differentiation; in adults, tissue is already differentiated.
D) Larvae use notochords to organize their nervous systems; adults' nervous systems are fully developed and do not change.
