Cladogram Worksheet

The document contains two cladogram worksheets that ask students to organize various organisms based on shared traits. For the first cladogram, students are asked to place worms, spiders, ants, and flies based on whether they have cells, legs, or wings. They determine that worms and spiders are more closely related than worms and ants because worms and spiders share more traits. For the second cladogram, students order humans, snakes, monkeys, and lizards based on traits like eyes, hair, and legs. They conclude that humans are most closely related to monkeys because we share more traits with monkeys than any other organism listed.
