Title: Help With Cladograms
Post by: 1357 on Dec 11, 2013
A biologist is constructing a cladogram to show the evolutionary relationships between the animals shown below. If anatomical features are used to construct the cladogram, which animal will be placed farthest from the shown animal?

None of those links work. I think you need to be logged in or something.

I'll tell you what the animals are:

The first one is a mountain goat, the send one is a lioness, the third one is something like a brown-white cow with horns, and the fourth one is a camel.

I think we can eliminate the first and third ones.

The shown animal is an antelope.
