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).
There are a variety of ways of making a cladogram starting from this data, one of which is the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). This approach is simple, and can be...
This instructable will show you step by step how to make one, and how to avoid confusing derived traits with ancestral ones. Having the skills to construct a cladogram will help your understanding of evolutionary relationships. List of Terms: - Cladistics - Cladogram - derived characteristics - ancestral characteristics - Outgroup - Order - Family
Activity 2: How to Create Dichotomous Keys and Cladograms. Please write your answers in this sheet. Seatwork 1. Diagnostic Key. If the matter is Edible ..... Go to 2 If the matter is Non-edible ..... Rock. A solid phase matter..... Go to 3 A liquid phase matter..... Go to 4
PART II - Create Your Own Cladogram. 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 this activity, students will be given a ziplock baggie with 4 types of candy inside. On the front of the worksheet students will be given the traits to analyze and then are asked to complete the cladogram. On the back of the worksheet students need to use the same candies but analyze them using different traits.
