Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 3R
DRAW IT Use the additional information below to construct a cladogram for some of the organisms used in question 4. What is the purpose of a cladogram? How does your cladogram differ from a dichotomous key for these organisms?
| Similarity in rRNA Bases | |
| P. aeruginosa—M. pneumoniae | 52% |
| P. aeruginosa—c. botulinum | 52% |
| P. aeruginosa—E. coli | 79% |
| M, pneumoniae—C. botulinum | 65% |
| M. pneumoniae—E. coli | 52% |
| E. coli—C. botulinum | 52% |

Give 5 species of genus agrobacterium. Then make a clade. The clade must observe the rules of constructing a cladogram. Synapomorphies must describe all organisms above it but not below it.
Examine the following phylogenetic tree illustrated in Figure shown in the picture.
In general, what does a phylogenetic tree illustrate?
How do you compare the relationships of organisms BB, CC, and DD?
Draw a simpler version of the phylogenetic tree that just depicts the four supergroups of eukaryotes after viewing the image. Now imagine the tree as if the unikonts were the first eukaryotes to diverge from the rest of the eukaryotes.
