Homework Help: 12th grade Biology

Posted by Harlowe on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 at 11:06am.

Consider the following animals:

Earthworm
Flatworm.
Frog.
Jellyfish.
Lamprey.
Tuna.

Create a table of fundamental traits for these six animals as a basis for building a cladogram. Use traits that are either present or absent in a given organism. Use the jellyfish as an outgroup and construct a cladogram that accurately depicts the branching of the evolutionary lines of descent of these animals.

Where do I even start creating a cladogram? I know what it is, but my book nor anyone can explain where I start.
