Introduction Cladogram is a tree diagram that is designed to determine the relatedness and evolution of species. Two methods to produce a cladorgam one based on morphological characteristic and another based on sequence of amino acid. Based on morphological characteristic‚ first‚ taxa are chosen that are close or being interesting of their evolutionary

One cline was generated by high UVR near the equator and led to the evolution of dark‚ photo protective‚ melanin-rich pigmentation. The other was produced by the requirement for UVB photons to sustain cutaneous photosynthesis of vitamin D3 in low-UVB environments‚ and resulted in the evolution of pigmented skin

A. Evolution and Behavior 1. Study microevolution by viewing domestication and natural selection in the wild. 2. Domestic dogs attack prey differently than their ancestral wolves do due to behavioral selection 3. In domesticating foxes‚ you are selecting for neotenous traits and a suppressed adrenal gland that made the foxes less aggressive 4. Natural disasters or major ecological changes are good examples of looking at microevolution 5. When studying behavior
