Which two organisms do you think are most closely related?i think the turtle and thedeer2. Why do you think SO?I say the turtle arid deer because they have tails and legs and arms arid mouths r»oseand ears and worms dont have that they dont have arms and legsGizmoWarm-upCladi sties is a methoo of hypothesizing the evolutionaryrelationships between species.A cladogramis a branching diagramthat illustrates these relationships. For example, the cladogram on theright shows that neer are more closely related to turtles than toworms. In theCladogramsGizmo, you will usemorphological(physical characteristics) andmolecularData to create cladograms.To begin, make surePlantsis selected for the Organism group ardMorphologicalisselected for the Data type. Click on one of the characteristics to the left of the table on theTABLE tab. Information about the characteristic will be shown on the ORGANISM tab.Using the information on the ORGANISM tab. describe each of the characteristics below.•Xylemardphloem'l l ! i s u e sl hpiarits thattransport water andtoiinesHie plant and the fooddawn the piihl.Flowersis a part of a plant containingreproductive organs surrounded by brightly colored petals.Multicellularitya Gf9a f l l S n’1composed of more than one cell.Preview Mode
