LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -These distinct traits are called derived characteristics. The groups on the diagram are organized into clades, each clade shares distinct traits.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cladogram is a diagram used to represent a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals, called a phylogeny. A cladogram is used by a scientist studying phylogenetic systematics to visualize the groups of organisms being compared, how they are related, and their most common ancestors.

Detailed explanation-3: -A cladogram is an evolutionary tree that diagrams the ancestral relationships among organisms. In the past, cladograms were drawn based on similarities in phenotypes or physical traits among organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics which shows relations among organisms. A cladogram is however not an evolutionary tree because it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants or how much they have changed, many evolutionary trees can be inferred from a single cladogram.
