    This document discusses cladistics and cladograms. It defines clade as groups of organisms with a common ancestor, and cladogram as a diagram showing evolutionary relationships. Biochemical evidence like mitochondrial DNA can be used to demonstrate evolutionary relationships due to its fast mutation rate. Molecular clocks also help date evolutionary relationships by estimating time since shared ancestors. Molecular evidence has been used to reclassify schemes by showing relationships contradicted earlier views. The document asks to construct a simple cladogram comparing bats, eagles, kangaroos, sharks, and chimpanzees based on shared characteristics.
