Question

What does cladistic analysis compare

Answer 1

Answer:

Cladistic analysis compares the shared and shared derived characteristics of organisms which are thought to be of same ancestral origin.

Explanation:

• The branch of sytematics concerned with inferring phylogeny is termed as cladistics.
• It determines the branching pattern of evolution.
• It decribes the sequence of branching of ancestral lines.
• The basic idea behind cladistics is that the members of a group share common evolutionary history, and are closely related, more so to members of the same group than to other organisms.
