A cladogram is a tool used by scientists to visualize a group of organisms that are being compared. All organisms to the right of a characteristic, have that characteristic.

The cladogram below tells us that out of all of the organisms on the cladogram, only the mouse and the chimp have fur and mammary glands.

Which organisms on the cladogram below have claws or nails? Mark all that apply.

Responses:

Question 1: Which organisms on the cladogram below have claws or nails? Mark all that apply.

  • Chimp
  • Mouse
  • Lizard (if the cladogram indicates that lizards also have claws)
  • Pigeon (if the cladogram indicates that pigeons have claws)

(Note: The responses may vary depending on the actual characteristics shown in the cladogram, but generally, the chimp, mouse, and lizard are known to have claws or nails. If the cladogram indicates that the pigeon has claws, it would be marked as well.)
