To make a cladogram, you must first look at the animals you are studying and establish characteristics that they share and ones that are unique to each group. For the animals on the table, indicate whether the characteristic is present or not.
In the box below, create a cladogram based off your matrix. Use the following cladogram to answer the questions below. 8. What separates rabbits/primate from the crocodiles on this cladogram? 9. Which organism is most related to the rodents and rabbits on this cladogram? 10. What 5 traits do the bird and its closest relative share? a. b. d. e. 11.
Cladogram-Worksheet-Practice-KEY - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. The document provides information about cladograms and how they are used to depict evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms.
KEY TO APPLICATION: (look for near vertical branches upwards from diagonal line on cladogram) • “Iguana-like” animal: (branch from or near turtle line): Iguana is a reptile, like a turtle. • “Rat-like” animal: (branch from or near Rhesus monkey): Rat is a placental mammal, like monkey.
Cladograms are diagrams which depict the relationships between different groups of taxa called “clades”. By depicting these relationships, cladograms reconstruct the evolutionary history (phylogeny) of the taxa. Cladograms can also be called “phylogenies” or “trees”.
What is a cladogram? It is a diagram that depicts evolutionary relationships among groups. It is based on PHYLOGENY, which is the study of evolutionary relationships. Sometimes a cladogram is called a phylogenetic tree (though technically, there are minor differences between the two).
How to Make a Cladogram: Nearly every biology student has heard of cladistics and cladograms, however, cladograms can be difficult to construct. This instructable will show you step by step how to make one, and how to avoid confusing derived traits with ancestral ones.
