No; jellyfish and mammals are animals evolved from different ancestors. While jellifish belong to Phylum Cnidaria and have a radial simmetry, mammals are vertebrate, have bilateral simmetry and belong to Phylum Chordata, having a notochord, a complete digestive system and a neural cord.

No, jellyfish are invertebrates. They have no spine/backbone.
no, jellyfish is a not a vertebrate but instead it's an invertebrate which belongs to the phylum coelenterates...they don't have backbone..Coelenterates (cnidarians) are animals that have tentacles surrounding their mouth. The tentacles contain stinging cells that make it easy to capture their next meal, and contain poison to kill their prey. Some of the animals that are cnidarians are octopus, corals, hydra, sea fans, and sea anemones. ^^no a jelly fish is an invertebrate
No jellyfish are not vertebrates, there are invertebrates.

All species of jellyfish are cnidarians, and any member of the Phylum Cnidaria is an invertebrate as they do not have a backbone or spinal cord. Cnidarians include jellyfish, polyps (e.g. Corals and anemones) and other marine stingers.

Vertebrates include only some members of the Phylum Chordata: specifically, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.

No Jellyfish don't really fall into a category such as mammal, fish, vertebrata etc.. They are in a class all their own really
