5. Which among the following statements incorrectly describes a cladogram? Cladogram is the same as dichotomous key. Cladogram utilizes branch lengths which is proportional to the evolutionary time. a. b. c. In cladogram, the longer branch has longer evolutionary time than the shorter ones. d. It is a diagram showing the potential relationship between species based on their shared characteristics. 6. What is the method used for grouping and hypothesizing the relationships among organism by considering their shared derived characteristics? a. Synapomorphies 7. Which of the following is incorrect? a. Evolutionary relationships among organism can be disregarded in classifying living things. b. Modern way of classifying organisms is solely based on physical attributes of organisms. c. Previously made classification of organisms can be changed as new fossils and molecular data are gathered. d. Embryological similarities among different species may provide evidence of phylogenetic relationships used in modern way of classification. 8. Which field of science deals in naming and classifying organisms? a. Cladistics Таxonomy 9. What is the primary purpose of dichotomous key? a. to make a cladogram. b. to find the ancestral form of a species. c. to find the classification and species of an organism. d. to show the evolutionary relatedness of different species. 10. Which is TRUE of taxonomic keys? a. They are usually dichotomous b. They are of little use to taxonomists c. They can only be used for vertebrate animals d. They cannot be used to classify algae and protists 11. Which technique is used at the figure on the right to show relatedness ar organisms that can also be utilized as basis in classifying them? b.
