You will sketch a cladogram for the named organisms below. I do not expect you to know all the unique features of each organism or which features are more important than others (yet). However, when you create branches you must indicate what characteristic (trait) you chose to make the splitting decision. Just state the trait on the cladogram. The interpretation will come later. (A) Create a cladogram for the following organisms: amoeba, panda, chameleon, salamander, trout, leech, sea anemone (B) From your cladogram select two organisms that would form a MONOPHYLETIC group and a second two that could form a PARAPHYLETIC group. Define each term. (C) You don't have to draw one, but explain how a Phylogenetic tree of these

Animal Phylogeny

Cladistics is a method of biological classification where organisms are classified based on their ancestors and their relationship with them. It is defined as the concepts and methods for determining the branching patterns of evolution and evolutionary history. Some scientists, however, have preferred the term phylogenetic systematics or phylogenetic taxonomy to emphasize the reliance on a phylogeny for classification. It is the most common and accepted method for classifying organisms.
