A clade is a group of organisms that share certain

traits derived from a common ancestor.

3b

Derived character

Characters that have evolved in a species since sharing a

common ancestor. These are shown as hash marks between

the branches of a cladogram. 4b

Dichotomous Key

5a

A key used to identify organisms based on a series of choices

between alternative characters (2 choices at each step)

Genus

6a

Includes one or more physically similar species that are

thought to be closely related. They are ALWAYS written

in CAPITAL letters and italicized OR underlined. 6b

Hierarchical Classification

7a

Broad to most narrow (most members to least)

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus,

Species (Does King Phillip Came Over For Good Soup) 7b

Linnean Classification

8a

-Based on physical similarities -Each level includes the more specific levels below with the

lowest level being subspecies.

represents the most recent common ancestor shared by a

clade. 9b

19b

A “clade” is...

20a

a group of organisms that share

certain traits derived from a

common ancestor. A clade looks

like the letter "V" that indicates all

of the branches that extend to the

right of the V

20b

How to interpret a cladogram?

21a

-derived characters on written on the

continuous line as a hash mark

-the closer 2 branches are on a

cladogram the more closely related the

organisms are

-the further 2 branches are on a

cladogram the less related the organisms

are 21b

A node is...

22a

an intersection of 2 branches. It

represents the most common

ancestor

22b

Phylogeny is...

23a

the study of evolutionary

relationships

23b

Phylogeny is based on...

24a

common ancestry and derived

character

24b

What does a Cladogram

show?

25a

a Cladogram shows features that

are considered to be "innovative"

or new features that serve some

kind of purpose. These are

called derived characters

25b

What is a Cladogram?

26a

it is a diagram that shows evolution

relationships among groups

26b

What is a Cladogram based

on?

27a

a Cladogram is based on

Phylogeny
