Question

which statement best explains how to draw a cladogram that includes the rynchosaur?
draw the cladogram for amphibians.
draw the cladogram for reptiles.
draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and leave it as a hypothesis.
draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and have scientists vote.

Explanation:

Rynchosaurs are an extinct group with traits that have led to debate about their classification (they share some features with amphibians and reptiles). Cladograms are based on shared derived traits, and when classification is uncertain, scientists propose competing cladogram hypotheses based on observed traits rather than assigning to a single group or using a vote.

Answer:

C. Draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and leave it as a hypothesis.
