Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The term “Clade” was given by a biologist Julian Huxley in 1957. A clade is a set of creatures that originated from the common ancestors. Examples are rodents, insects, etc. In other term, it is a set of organisms that contain only one ancestor and also all of its descendants.
Basically, clades are a technique of thinking about ‘branches of the tree of life’. The clade is an arm of a 'family tree' that is characterized using a cladogram. A cladogram is only a collection of several clades that are conjoined to signify relations between organisms.

This clade is the sister taxon to reptiles. Adults are terrestrial and nocturnal, while the young are diurnal. Larval forms of most species are herbivorous while adults are insectivorous/carnivorous. The closest living relatives of avian reptiles. They are known as the "side necked" turtles. Have elongate, tapering snouts and, with the mouth closed, the 4th tooth on the lower jaw is visible. Most diverse and speciose clade of reptiles. Adults of this taxon are known to be cannibalistic on younger individuals. Possess teeth set in bony sockets and replace teeth throughout their lives. Males in this taxon have paired copulatory organs and movable quadrate bone in the skull. Members of this order…arrow_forward
