Take a look at the cladogram below, specifically the group of organisms labeled "A" and "B." Compare and contrast the traits of Organisms A and B. What does the sharing of traits suggest about the evolutionary relationships among organisms? Grading Considerations Answer must have an explanation of how the sharing of traits corresponds with evolutionary relationships Answer must compare organisms A and B, and refer to the names of these organisms based on the cladogram. Include similarities%C2%A0and%C2%A0differences between the two in terms of traits. The traits%C2%A0must%C2%A0be traits listed on this cladogram. Answers should be in 3-5 sentences. In an effort to combat plagiarism, answers longer than 6 sentences will not be considered.%C2%A0Answering concisely and to the point is evidence of your understanding of the topic. (4 points)
Organisms A and B both share the trait of having a backbone, as indicated by the cladogram. This suggests that they are both vertebrates. However, Organism A has limbs with digits, while Organism B does not. This difference in limb structure suggests that Organism A is a tetrapod, while Organism B is a fish. The sharing of the backbone trait suggests that both Organism A and B are more closely related to each other than to other organisms on the cladogram.
