Cladistics is a way of classifying organisms by examining the characteristics of their ancestors and descendants and depicting the relationships in a cladogram. Which of the following best describes a challenge in classifying organisms this way? There are millions of species on Earth, and a cladogram is not a practical means for classifying all of them. It is impossible to tell which organisms are most closely related to each other using a cladogram. Cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships. There is a limited number of ways to organize the information, so most cladograms end up looking very similar

The disadvantage of cladistics is that the degree of difference between organisms is not considered. For instance, the lung capacity of organisms, or location of a fin on another organism.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

All species are treated equally rather than as different species of different times.
