Description: Cladistic analysis produces a cladogram – an evolutionary tree that diagrams evolutionary trends and patterns Data from an outgroup (a species not closely related to any member of the group) may be included to “root” the tree Each line represents a lineage, which may branch into two lineages at a node – a common ancestor of two lineages Every branch on a cladogram is a clade; the two lineages that emerge from a node are sister groups Picture Stats: Views: 45 Filesize: 134.27kB Height: 1248 Width: 1500 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=48462 |
