3. 2The cladogram below depicts relationships between Point E
organisms:
[A cladogram depicts a straight line going up and to
the right split into five sections starting from branch
point A to branch point F.]
• The first segment of the line starting at the far left
goes from branch point A to branch point B. Above
point A is a branch to a lamprey, and along the first
segment of the line, the characteristic of jaw is given.
• The next segment of the line goes from branch point
B to branch point C. Above point B is a branch to a
shark, and along the line segment, the characteristic
of bones is given.
• The next segment of the line goes from branch point
C to branch point D. Above point C is a branch to a
fish, and along the line segment, the characteristic of
fingers and toes is given.
• The next segment of the line goes from branch point
D to branch point E. Above point D is a branch to a
frog, and along the lin

the gardener observes that a cross between two yel-

orange flowers.
