Making Cladograms

In this genetics activity, students compare the human amino acid sequence with the five animals given. Students used cladograms to complete 11 short answer questions.

Looking at evolution in detail, this thorough worksheet has complex questions requiring details and explanations of natural selection and diversity. Various examples of biological characteristics are available, and students choose the...

Evolution happens over generations, so how do we observe it? Scholars learn to look for patterns and create cladograms. Then they apply those lessons to the evolution of technology over many generations.

No, a cladogram is not a new mass measurement beyond kilo. In the video, scholars watch as a simple cladogram is constructed consisting of seven organisms with shared characteristics. From this, the instructor asks where a new organism...

Explore how cells communicate with a video that features the symbiotic relationship between a bioluminescent bacteria and the bobtail squid. The resource explains quorum sensing in bacteria and how epinephrin is linked to glycogen...

Biology aces analyze restriction maps to determine the relationships among different primate species and then complete a cladogram. Preface this lesson with an explanation of how restriction enzymes are used to create the DNA maps....

Through the mapping of the DNA of songbirds, scientists have discovered a gene network common among the species. In the video, scholars explore the comparison of DNA sequences, then attempt to place DNA sequences on a cladogram. They see...

Students investigate the protein cytochrome c in an attempt to use its genetic chemistry to study possible evolutionary relationships between organisms. The instructional activity integrates technology with the use computers to perform...

Scholars explore revolutionary relationships among organisms through phylogenetics. Using cladograms, or an evolutionary tree, the narrator shows viewers how organisms are created through morphological (analysis of number of heart...

Compare protein fragments, count amino acids, and use the information to explore common ancestry. The resource mentions a student worksheet, however, a separate printable worksheet is not provided. The exercises are written into the...
