Question

Can someone walk me through this?

I have to make a cladogram and taxonomy chart for " Bird Group: Blue Jay, robin, cardinal, finch, and pelican "

Answer 1

Part A: Taxonomy Chart

Organize your five animals by kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species within your chart. This information can be accessed in a Web search of your animal.
You may choose any format you wish for the taxonomy chart. It can follow the student example provided but does not have to replicate it exactly. Concept maps or circle diagrams are also appropriate for organizing your animals.
Part B: The Cladogram

Organize your five animals by their evolutionary relationships with one another. This information can be accessed in a web search about your animal. (Hint: Review evolutionary relationships, ancestral traits, and derived traits from the lesson.)
There is no wrong way to make a cladogram. As long as you can justify species location on the cladogram, your chart will be correct. Your cladogram does not have to match the student example.
Remember, no matter what the relationship is between the groups depicted in a cladogram, there will always be one less clade than the number of groups.
