How is a Cladogram set up?
By features/ DNA that they share as it progressively moves up.

What is the definition of classification?
Grouping based on similarities

How do you know closely an organism is related on a Cladogram?
By (the features/ DNA) where they are on a diagram

Similarities in amino acid sequence between organisms, means that there will also be similarities in DNA sequence. Why?
DNA carries the code for amino acids
