Characteristcs that are shared by two different organisms and putting together a hypothesis on how they might be related.

Ember said...

A hypothesis of how different organisms came to be by putting characteristics in order.

Characteristics that 2 things have that you can trace back to an ancester.

Taylor Mitsin said...

A phylogenic tree is a hypothesis about the evolution of organisms over time

Olivia said...

A hypothesis of how different organsims came to be by putting characteristics in order.

It shows how things are related and how they evolved over time

A phylogenic tree is a hypothesis about evolution of organisms.

A phylogenetic tree is a hypothesis about the evolution of organisms who have similar characteristics over time

Characteristics that are shared by two or more organisms and using a hypothesis to find out if they are related

blaze said...

a cladogram is a map that shows your ancestors throw out time.
a phylogenetic tree is a tree that shows the similar traits of different animals.

Isabella S. said...

A hypothesis about the evolution of organisms over time that have the similar characteristics.

Nicole said...

Characteristics are shared by two organisms using a hypothesis to fing if they are related.

Makenzie G said...

A hypothesis about the evolution of organism over time that have similar characteristics to one another.

Alivia said...

A hypothesis about evolution of organisms over time that have characteristics that are alike.

Delia said...

Biologists use cladograms and phylogenetic trees to illustrate relationships among organisms and evolutionary relationships for organisms with a shared common ancestor.

Bridget T said...

A hypothesis about how things change over time and how they are alike to one an another.

madyson said...

A hypothesis about evolution of organisms over time that have very similar characteristics.

logan said...

On the other hand, the branches on a phylogenetic tree can be proportional to the amount of change or evolutionary time.

A phylogenetic tree, or cladogram, is used to show a hypothesis about the evolution among groups of organisms and how they relate.

It shows the evolution of an animal/organism.

Julia Ryan said...

A phylogenetic tree or cladogram is a hypothesis about evolution over time and what common ancestors some animals or even humans have in common.

Joseph said...

A Hypothesis about evolution is how things change over time.

Abbey said...

Basically a hypothesis about the evolution of organisms overtime with similar characteristics.

Characteristics that 2 things have that you can trace back to an ancester.

dominic said...

It tells about evolution of animals/organism

William Travis said...

A phylogenetic tree, or cladogram, is a branching diagram showing the common ancestors relationship between a number of species and how they all relate to each other..

Hunter Murphy said...

Phylogenetic trees represent hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms.

A phylogenetic tree, or cladogram, is a branching diagram showing the common ancestors and relationships between numerous species and how they all relate to each other.

a tree showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities

Fiona M. said...

A cladogram/phylogentic tree is essentially taking characteristicts that are shared by organisms and then putting together a hypothesis of how you think they may be related.

A phylogentic tree or a cladogram is diagram with branching points showing common ancestors

Stella Wyman said...

A hypothesis of how different organisms came to be , by putting characteristics in order.

Allie Nichols said...

A phylogenic tree is a hypothesis of your common ancestors.

Amelia M said...

A cladogram or phylogentic tree is a diagram that hypothesis how a certain group evolved.

Matthew chamberland said...

A phylogenetic tree is taking characteristics that are shared by organisms and then putting together a hypothesis of how you think they may be related.

Kailey .C. said...

a phylogenic tree is a guess of hypothesis about your common ancestors

a characteristic showing how organisms are related

A phylogenic tree is a chart it shows the characteristics shared by two different organism.

A phylogenic tree is a characteristic shared between an organism over time

Allie said...

A phylogenetic tree is a graph that gives a hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms. They show the change in characteristics and evolution.

Kaylah Swan said...

A phylogenetic tree is a graph that shows how a species evolves through time and all the variations.
