Summary:

A cladogram can be used to identify traits that different animals have in common. This helps scientists to be able to see easily which animals have a common ancestor. This helps see which animals are the most related and which aren't. This is especially helpful when trying to find relatives of extinct animals to try to find out more about its history.  By using these scientists can learn more about a species' history and their ancestors as well.

SP2: Developing and using models 

This week I performed SP2: Developing and using models by using a model of a cladogram to see what the T-rex is the most related to. This is SP2: Developing and using models because I am using a model to understand about cladograms and about how different species can be related.
