,What is a Vertebrate? - correct answer ✔✔ 15% of species have been described.
99.99% of all species that have ever existed are extinct
The Old system of how to classify Vertebrates - correct answer ✔✔ Linnaean System
Lumps together based on similarities.

Species
The New System of Naming Vertebrates - correct answer ✔✔ Cladistics
Takes the evolutionary relationships into consideration
Who developed the cladistics - correct answer ✔✔ Willi Hennig
Clade - correct answer ✔✔ A group of species that includes an ancestral species and all its
descendants.
, What can a grouping based on? - correct answer ✔✔ Morphology
Gene Sequencing
Computational methods
Computational methods - correct answer ✔✔ Statistical methods
Most likely testable hypotheses
Cladogram - correct answer ✔✔ Uses al characteristics that are similar between groups and
determines the steps to get down to the species we are looking for
Homologous - correct answer ✔✔ Shared primitive/derived characteristics
Apomorphies - correct answer ✔✔ Derived character that differs from the ancestral condition.
Different from previous generations
Synapomorphies - correct answer ✔✔ Shared derived character that can be used to define a
clade.
2 groups that have the same trait.
Autapomorphy - correct answer ✔✔ Derived trait found only in one member of a clade.
Something that is distinct to a group in a species
Plesiomorphy - correct answer ✔✔ Ancestral trait found at the basis of cladogram (may be lost
or retained)
This is found across a cladogram
