Characteristics for
Classification
The characteristics that scientists determined are most
indicative of common ancestry include:
1. skin covering
2. warm / cold-bloodedness
3. skeletal features & anatomy
4. methods of reproduction

Characteristics for
Classification
Why do you think that scientists identified these
characteristics as the most important to show
evolutionary relationships and common ancestry?
1. skin covering
2. warm / cold-bloodedness
3. skeletal features & anatomy
4. methods of reproduction
Cladograms
 A cladogram is a diagram that shows the evolutionary
relationships among groups of organisms.
 Organisms that are grouped more closely on a cladogram
share a more recent common ancestor.
Andersenii aquaticus
Build a Cladogram
1.
What characteristic separates amphibians from primates on this cladogram?
2.
What separates rabbits and primates from crocodiles on this cladogram?
3.
Which organism is most related to the bird on this cladogram?
4.
What 5 characteristics do crocodiles and birds share?
5.
Which organism will have DNA most similar to the bird?
6.
Which organism’s DNA will differ the most from the bird?
