Solution
The characteristics that are absent in tunicates and lancelets but are present in vertebrates are:
- Three pairs of well developed sensory organs
- Brain encased in skull
These two features are unique to vertebrates. While tunicates and lancelets do have a dorsal nerve cord and a postanal tail, they do not have a brain encased in a skull or three pairs of well-developed sensory organs.
