The table shows the distribution of traits (A-E) in six extant species (1-6). A "0" indicates the ancestral condition. A "1" is the derived condition. How would you construct a cladogram using these data?

The order in the cladogram is the following:

4 > 5 > 3 (taxon 3 share a node with taxon 5)

         >6 >1 (taxon 1 share a node with taxon 6)

               >2

Explanation:

In this example, taxon 4 is the most basal in the group and taxon 2 is the terminal taxon (i.e., the most recent). Each taxon is a branch of the cladogram tree.

A cladogram is a cladistic tree that exhibits relationships among groups of organisms. A cladogram may have an evolutionary meaning, and therefore evolutionary relationships may be inferred by using this tree. The values 1 and 0 are states of the character and they are used to infer associations in the cladogram. Each branch in the cladogram is referred to as clade, which includes a common ancestor with all its descendants.

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.

not too sure but maybe in the hot springs.
