Asked by hoovan
After much research and DNA analysis it has been determined that species in the same clade are actually more distantly related than originally thought. What is one way that the cladogram may change because of this information?
A new clade would be created.
A node would be introduced.
There would be no change to the cladogram.

A new clade would be created.
Explanation: If species originally placed together are found to be more distantly related, the tree must be rearranged so they no longer share the same clade. That usually involves splitting the original group and placing at least one species into a different clade, which can be represented as creating a new clade (and associated branches/nodes) on the cladogram.
