Chaparral Cladogram
A cladogram is organized and made according to the set of organisms' shared and derived characters. Therefore, they display the relationships between the animals.
Shared characters are characteristics that the set of organisms' have in common.
Derived characters are characteristics that are specific to a set of organisms' that is being analyzed.
The out-group is the organism that is the least related to the other organisms and is what cladistic taxonomists begin comparisions (in this diagram, slender-horned gazelle).
