1. Reading and Making a Cladogram

2. Cladogram – What is it? An evolutionary family tree
Used to be based on physical appearance
Now based on similar DNA sequences, proteins, or traits

3. Cladograms show… Probable relationships Probable sequence of origins
Shared derived characters

4. Introduction
Here are the traits of transportation and how they have developed over time.
Airplane
Car
Motorcycle
Wings
Bike
Passengers enclosed
Foot
Motor
Wheels
Put the following modes of transportation in the cladogram
where they belong based on their structure.
Car, Airplane, Bike, Motorcycle, Walking by Foot

8. Making a Cladogram
To make a cladogram, you must first look at the animals you are studying and establish characteristics that they share and ones that are unique to each group.
For the animals on the table, indicate whether the characteristic is present or not.
Based on that chart, create a cladogram.
