Making a cladogram
1. Cladograms are diagrams showing how evolutionary lines, or lineages, split from each other over time. The diagram shows a single ancestral lineage splitting into two. The point of splitting is called a node in the cladogram.
2. How recently lineages share a common ancestor reflect how closely the lineages are related to one another. Here, lineages 3 and 4 are more closely related to each other than any of them is to any other lineage.
3. This cladogram shows the evolutionary relationships among vertebrates, animals with backbones.
Interpreting a Cladogram
Derived Character
1. Trait that arose in a common ancestor 2. Passes along to descendants
