  2. What is a cladogram? • A cladogram shows evolutionary relationships between groups of living things. It is like a family tree for species.

  3. How do you read a cladogram? • The closer two species are on the cladogram, the more closely they are related. This means they evolved apart more recently. • Sometimes a cladogram will also list the characteristics that make two groups or organisms different. Everything past this point has four walking legs!

  4. How do you make a cladogram? Let’s make a cladogram that includes slugs, catfish, frogs, tigers, and humans. 1. Make a table of some adaptations that the organisms share, and some that are unique. For example:

  11. Cells: Slug, Catfish, Frog, Tiger and Human Backbone: Catfish, Frog, Tiger and Human Legs: Frog, Tiger and Human Hair: Tiger and Human Thumbs: Human How do you make a cladogram? 2. You can also make a Venn diagram, placing the animals in groups to illustrate those characteristics which different animals have in common.

  12. How do you make a cladogram? 3. Draw your cladogram. It is assumed that organisms with more of the traits evolved later, so they go at the top or on the right. Less evolved organisms go at the bottom or left side of the cladogram. TIGER HUMANS FROGS CATFISH SLUGS

  13. How do you make a cladogram? 4. You can then add in when the different traits probably evolved. TIGER HUMANS FROGS THUMBS CATFISH HAIR SLUGS LEGS BACKBONE CELLS

  14. Question?? Where would you add in eagles? TIGER HUMANS FROGS THUMBS CATFISH HAIR SLUGS LEGS BACKBONE CELLS
