A clade/ cladogram is a diagram that shows relationships between different organisms that share common ancestors. It shows similarities and differences by showing different traits of organisms.

In the picture I've linked it shows how both the leopard and house cat have retractable claws which means they have common ancestors. The cladogram also shows how the wolf, leopard, and housecat are all carnivorous which means they all have a common ancestor who was carnivorous.

A clade is a group of organisms that share a common ancestor and all its descendants. A cladogram is a diagram that shows these relationships, like a family tree. It helps scientists understand how different species are related and how they have evolved over time. By looking at the characteristics of various species, a cladogram shows similarities and differences, helping to trace their common ancestors.

Worms, tuna, frogs, turtles, chickens, gorillas, and humans share some similarities despite their differences. All of these organisms have a backbone, making them vertebrates. Additionally, they all belong to the animal kingdom and share basic biological processes such as respiration, digestion, and reproduction. While their specific characteristics and habitats may vary, their common ancestry and evolutionary history connect them through these fundamental traits.

A cladogram is a like a family tree that shows different organisms that have a common ancestor and shows the differences and similarities between them.They are used to show people how they are alike and kind of explain their similarities and show that they do have a common ancestor.

Summary: In this picture you can see how these four animals are connected be different characteristics that they have and how that all relates to one common ancestor and how one animal may be more closely related to the common ancestor than the rest but they are all still related.

A clade is a group of organisms that have a common ancestor it is used to find similarities and differences between species.

The connection is that all of them are tetrapods which means they include all limbed vertebrates.

Egg layers include Echidnas, Komodo Dragons and Crocodiles.

Ectotherms include Komodo Dragons, and Crocodiles which are cold-blooded animals.

A clade/cladogram is like a grouping or family tree that shows the common ancestors of organisms. This grouping shows the similarities and differences between organisms. This grouping works by showing the physical and genetic traits of some organisms, which is then used to show the common ancestor of some organisms.

The image shown above shows the similarities between organisms such as amphibians and sharks and more. It shows the organisms with vertebrates,fingers and toes, and those with jaws.

Definition- A cladogram is a graph that is used for finding different animals shared/common ancestors. This can help us find the similarities and differences from how they organically started and try and figure how they changed over time but cladograms do not only help find common ancestors they can just state the differences and similarities of the animals they don't have to be related at all.

In this image it shows animals that are different and it states the differences like a lamprey does not have jaws but sharks do but sharks don't have lungs but salamanders do so the cladogram that I am showing is telling the differences from all of these different animals and telling us how there might not have a common ancestors.

Definition- A cladogram is a set of organisms who come from a shared ancestor and it compares and contrasts each of them to find similarities and differences.

In my image you can see that a Tuatara, Lizard, and snake have a 3 chambered heart while the crocodile and the bird have a 4 chambered heart showing the differences and similarities between the animals.

A Clade is a variety of living things that involves a familiar ancestor and it's offspring. How a Clade is used is that the Clades would show us the relationships between different, related species and how life changes and develops over time.

In the image I have above, it tells us the similarities between these three animals. The Turtle, Horse, Dog, and Cat has a similarity of backbone, and Dogs, Horses, and Cats are warm-blooded since they're mammals while the Turtle isn't and is a reptile. For the Carnivorous, only the Turtle and Cats are in the category but not all turtles are Carnivorous. The Category for "Retractable Claws" only includes the Cat because the Cats claws are usually sharp and can help them like protecting themselves and food.

A clade or cladogram is a diagram that shows the common ancestor and differences of different types of species. It is used by plotting characteristics of different species and showing how the are similar and how they are different, also to find a common ancestor in an environment.

The cladogram shown above shows us how the house cat is related or different to other species and how they are related to their common ancestry. The characteristics shown on the diagram include: purring, retractable claws, placenta, and hair. Based on the diagram and the illustration we can see that lions are the closest ancestor to a house cat having everything but purring similar. The diagram also shows that it has the least amount of similar characteristics, showing just hair being the similarity. The bear is in the middle sharing the similarity of a placenta and hair. Each characteristic is separated into different parts showing the similarities and differences of different species.

A cladogram is a diagram that shows ancestral relationships among different organisms.

Explanation: In this diagram it shows that all these animals have common ancestry.

A cladogram, is a diagram that represents the similarities and/or differences of different types of species in an environment. So in conclusion, displaying the relationship between animals, which could also be called or called "clades."

Though in the picture I stated, the connections within the species vary.

The Kangaroos being the closest thing to the human (or a human) at most.

The diagram also showcases words like mammary glands, placenta, etc.

The sharks have the least characteristics displaying vertebrate, and just has no connections to human beings at all.

Whilst the bullfrogs have more characteristics being a vertebrate, and also clearly has two pairs of limbs.

A clade is a group of organisms that each share a common ancestor or descendant and it is used to find different relationships between different species using a graph. A Cladogram is a diagram that shows different species being compared to their common ancestor with their physical traits.

Explanation: This Cladogram consists of organisms Hagfish, Perch, Salamander, Lizard, Pigeon, Mouse, and lastly Chimp. This diagram tells us that the Chimp is the Common Ancestor out of the other 6 organisms. The Hagfish in this diagram has no characteristics, the Perch has the "jaw" characteristic, Salamander has both the lungs and jaw, lizard showing more characteristics with having claws/nails, lungs, and Jaw. Lastly Pigeon and Mouse have the same amount of characteristics which tells us that they are most related to the Chimp.

Definition- A cladogram is a graphical representation used to show the hypothetical relationships between different groups of organisms. It is a tool in phylogenetic analysis that helps determine the evolutionary relationships be tween organisms, though it does not include any time scale or evolutionary distance.

My Definition- A cladogram is representation that shows how animals are related or alike. It can be used to show or help figure the similarities between two or more species.

As you see in my picture show the similarities between bony fish, amphibians, lizards, crocodiles, birds, mammals.

A clade is a group of organisms that includes a common ancestor and all its descendants. This concept is crucial in understanding evolutionary relationships among species. A cladogram is a diagram that visually represents these relationships, resembling a tree structure where each branch signifies a lineage diverging from a common ancestor.

Cladograms are used in evolutionary biology to illustrate how species are related based on shared characteristics and ancestry. They provide insights into the evolutionary history of various organisms, helping researchers to study and communicate the connections between different species.

In a typical cladogram, you might see various species grouped together based on their evolutionary lineage. For example, if you have a cladogram showing mammals, you might find humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas on one branch, indicating they share a more recent common ancestor compared to reptiles, which would branch off earlier. Each branch point, or node, represents a divergence in the evolutionary path, providing a clear view of how closely related different species are to one another.

What is a cladogram? A clade/cladogram is a graph or diagram that displays the similarities and differences of different types of species in an environment. A cladogram is used by listing characteristics of various species and showing how they compare or trace to a common ancestor in an environment.

Summary of cladogram displayed: This specific cladogram or clade shows how different species of animals relate to the common ancestry of humans. In this cladogram we can see how kangaroos are the closest ancestor to humans among the species provided. We can see different characteristics labeled including vertebrate, two pairs of limbs, mammary glands, and placenta. We can see how sharks have the least amount of characteristics displayed only showing signs of being a vertebrate. We can see how bullfrogs have more common characteristics being vertebrate and having two pairs of limbs and we can see that kangaroos have the most common characteristics with mammary glands, vertebrate, and two pairs of limbs. Each characteristic is separated into different branches with different sections showing differences in the way they relate to each other. We can also see how the common ancestor which is humans is labeled all the way at the end.

What is a cladogram & how is it used?

A cladogram is a group of organisms making up one parent and all of its offspring, it works to show relationships between distinct but related species.

Summary: The evolutionary relationships between various branches, known as clades, appear in these diagrams. Because of their arrangement, organisms are classified into clades based on shared or unique characteristics.

1. A cladogram is a diagram that shows the similarities between animals. They can be used to figure out how different animals are similar no matter how different they might seem.

2. Fishes are Eukaryotes, Amphibians are Vertebrates and Eukaryotes, Reptiles have four limbs; Vertebrates; Eukaryotes; and have egg shells while birds don't. Rodents are vertebrates, Eukaryotes, have four limbs, and are born from an amniotic egg, while also having hairy fur, Primates are the same. This how even rodents have some features that would have came from a fish, showing the similarities between many different animals.

Clade: a collection of organism coming from a shared ancestor

In the picture i've provided, dinosaurs and birds are the common ancestor. Here are some connections..

Primates & Rodents/rabbits are closely related ( both having four limbs, hair, vertebrae, and amniotic eggs. [meaning they don't dry out on land] )

Sharks, Ray-finned fish, and amphibians are more closely related as they all have vertebrae, bony skeletons, and NO four legs or amniotic legs. Meaning, they have to give birth underwater.

Create your post and answer the following prompts. Be sure to check out your classmate's entries, and include your name in your post.

What is a clade/cladogram and how is it used?

The definition needs to be in your own words.

Find a picture of a Cladogram and explain the species connections.

Search for an image of a cladogram of a species. It doesn't need to be long. Give a brief summary.

DO NOT USE THE SAME EXAMPLE AS SOMEONE ELSE

Be sure to check your classmate's entries so you do not duplicate them.
