Phoenix [80]

Nitrogenous base DNA consists of four unique nucleotides that each contain one unique nitrogenous base—adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), or guanine (G).

The specific arrangement of these four bases within the DNA of each organism gives that organism its unique traits; here are the arrangements:

-Adenine is paired with Thymine (think of A for apple and T for tree)

-Cytosine is paired with Guanine (think of C for car and G for garage)

Which is a correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?

nataly862011 [7]

A cladogram is an image or a diagram that shows us an evolutionary relationship between different organisms. Up at the top we find the different organisms and their names. Along the side is where we find their characteristics. Anything that is past each characteristic will have that characteristic as you move up the cladogram. This diagram also shows which organisms are most closely related to one another.

Please see the image for an example. In this example we can see that the Koalas evolved after the trout.

I hope this helps, Regards.
