Can someone help me form a cladogram?
@Abhisar Hey man could you help me please?
Organize your five animals by their evolutionary relationships with one another. This information can be accessed in a web search about your animal
I know it looks something like this |dw:1408849212644:dw| But I don't know what else to do or what animals i might be able to do
First select an animal
Can it be any animal?
yes
Cat, does it have to be a specific cat?
no..it's ok..now the second step would be finding its evolutionary heirarchy
ok....actually there is a change ! The question wants you to select any five animals and then represent them on the cladogram according to their evolutionary trend. So we will have to select 5 animals.
For the sake of simplicity let the five animals be cat, fish, crocodile, bird, human
Alright sounds good

So basically in the cladogram we put more advanced organisms at the top of the primitive organisms
Could I also draw it like this? |dw:1408850088426:dw|
Yes you can write it at the base as well...but this is how it's drawn mostly http://prntscr.com/4fuu3d
So a cat is smarter than a bird? Ect?
yes !
How can we tell a bird is smarter than a croc?
Smarter is not the correct term. Basically cladogram represents the evolutionary timeline. Birds evolved later than reptiles, that's why we can say birds are smarter than croc
