A cladogram is something that is used to classify animals and show how they are related, it is like a family tree or a tree of life. A tetra-pod is an animal that has 4 limbs with movable muscles and joints. Humans would be technically considered tetra-pods because we have 4 limbs, joint's and muscles. The picture above is a cladogram and is is showing that similarities that animals have like how crocodiles and birds have eggs with shells and how rodent's, rabbits and primates have hair. Everything has a vertebrae in the picture and a vertebrae is very important because it has lots of nerves and things connect and send signals to your brain. Every part that an animal has is useful and important to what that animal does and where they live.
SP 2: Developing and using models:
I had to use a cladogram to find my information and to find the similarities and differences in animals. We also read a google presentation about who first classified animals in a organized manner. There are lots of different animals and ways to classify them like with a cladogram to find the traits that match with different animals and connect them to a common ancestor. With a cladogram you can organize by finding what is a fungi, mammal, green plant, and more by finding what makes something put in a category like if something gives live births and needs to breathe air it is most likely a mammal. There are lots of different ways to organize animals and one of the ways is by using a cladogram.
