This lesson plan requires students to analyze DNA restriction maps to determine the differences in the sequence for several primates and humans. They then use the information to create a cladogram.

A lesson plan where students analyze a cladogram to understand a derived characteristics between a group of organisms. After analyzing the prepared cladogram, students create their own.

This lesson plan involves comparison of amino acids to create a phylogenetic tree of primates. Students will also use other species information to draw conclusions about evolutionary relationships.
