Answer:
- According to the cladogram what separates rabbits/primates from crocodiles is that the former have a divergence before the latter and are viviparous.
- The organism that is most closely related to rodents and rabbits in the cladogram is the primate.
Explanation:
The cladogram (see image) shows the evolutionary line that several animal species have followed. According to this, the following conclusions can be established:
- <em>Both primates and rabbits/rodents are mammals, with intrauterine development of their offspring, while crocodiles and birds are oviparous, which represents a </em><em><u>divergence in their evolution</u></em><em>.</em>
- <em>The species most related in the cladogram to rabbits / rodents is the primate, since they share several characteristics in common, such as being mammals, skin covered with hair and being viviparous.</em>
Characteristics such as these are what allow the classification of different animal species.
