CLADISTICS

Importance of Evidence for Link Between
Cladistics evolution Cladistics and Evolutionary Evidence Introduction Cladistics assists us in understanding the evolutionary links between organisms. It is best considered for phylogenetic analysis, as
It shows us the evolutionary link and
relationships between a group of organisms from a common ancestor based on features, like a domestic cat, and leopard have the ability to purr. IMPORTANCE OF CLADISTICS “CLADISTICS HELPS TO ELUCIDATE MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION.”
“It is also possible to compare the Its significance is to help scientists
descendants of a single ancestor to discover the common ancestor of look at patterns of origin and many descendants, and find extinction in these groups, or to look similarities, and differences between at relative size and diversity of the them alongside how they groups.” extinguished between them. Evidence of Evolution “In undisrupted layers of rock, fossils occurred in a definite sequential order, with more modern-appearing ones closer to the top. Because bottom layers of rock logically were laid down earlier and thus are older than top layers, the sequence of fossils also could be given a chronology from oldest to youngest.”
Anatomically Dinosaurs and Birds seem to have an evolutionary
link since they seem to have the same body structure alongside internal skeleton system.
The DNA between humans and apes is said to match 98.1%
according to research, and performing experiments on their DNA. CONCLUSIONS The evolutionary links between organisms prove that descendants of ancestors in a cladogram share some kind of features, and characteristics, proving the evolution connections. Evidence like fossils and DNA similarities further emphasize similar features of descendants and ancestors of different genus and species. Resources 1. Introduction to Cladistics, Journey into 5.
