Construct a cladogram that meets the following criteria: (25
marks)
1. Consists of five taxa – A, B, C, D, E
2. Taxon A is the sister group to B
3. Taxon C is the sister group to D
4. Taxon E is the sister group to CD
5. Taxon AB is the sister group to CDE
6. Taxon AB is the most ancestral (primitive)
7. Label the following: root, node, clade, speciation event
8. Draw a circle around taxa to create a monophyletic group
9. Draw a circle around taxa to create a polyphyletic group, a
paraphyletic group
