Cladogram Worksheet GRP 7 and 8

The document provides instructions for two cladogram worksheets that ask students to organize different organisms based on shared traits, and then draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships between organisms based on their placement on the cladograms. Students are asked to fill in trait tables, place organisms on sample cladograms, add distinguishing traits, and answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of how cladograms represent evolutionary relationships.
