Explanation:
Sea surface temperature provides fundamental information on the global climate system. ... SST is an essential parameter in weather prediction and atmospheric model simulations, and is also important for the study of marine ecosystems. SST data are especially useful for identifying the onset of El Niño and La Niña cycles
The branching point on a cladogram represents a common ancestor. A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms. However it is not an evolutionary tree since it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants, nor does it show how much they have changed.
False in a sense because it is not random. It is just that some organisms have more advantageous characteristics than others. These genes are then passed on which makes the likelihood of the next generation surviving greater.
