Step Two “The Venn Diagram”:
1. Draw a multi-rectangular Venn diagram. You will need as many rectangle _______________________________
layers as there are traits. _______________________________
2. Start with the trait that is shared by all the organisms on the outside. _______________________________
3. Inside each box, write the species that have only that set of traits.
4. On the outside of the Venn Diagram, write the outgroup. This is a group
3. What is an outgroup?
of organisms that do not share any traits and serve as a comparison to
the phylogeny you are looking at. _______________________________

Step Three “The Cladogram”: 4.Use this chart and fill in the
This step converts the Venn Diagram into a cladogram. The traits are cladogram on the left:
written on the main line, and species go on the branches. On the cladogram
below, try to put all the characters and the species in the correct
evolutionary history.
5. Based on the cladogram, which shared a common ancestor most recently- a mouse and a lizard,
or a mouse and a perch?

Checkpoint Question: Thanks to DNA testing, scientists have discovered that a tree in South America is genetically
similar to one in Australia. What is one possible evolutionary inference they could make from this discovery?
a. It’s a coincidence.
b. Both species share an ancestor that lived when the world had supercontinents.
c. The trees are adapted to seawater and floated between continents.
d. No inferences can be made.

squirrel
kangaroo

Rat snake
Sugar glider
Checkpoint Question: Despite living oceans apart, the North American kangaroo rat and the Australian hopping mouse
look similar. Both are nocturnal and burrow underground. What can you infer?
a. Nothing. Their similarity is a coincidence.
b. They’re similar because they lived near each other on Pangaea and separated when the continent split.
c. They have similar traits because they both live in deserts where burrowing and nocturnal behavior are
beneficial.
