Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vertebrates are characterized by having a backbone (or vertebral column) made up of multiple vertebrae. Diploblastic animals, on the other hand, only have two germ layers (ectoderm and endoderm) during embryonic development and do not possess a backbone. Radial cleavage and indeterminate development are characteristic of some invertebrates, while the presence of a circulatory system and coelom are shared characteristics among both vertebrates and some invertebrate groups.
