Question

) The original cladogram used to classify and propose a phylogeny for BioBeasties based upon the organisms themselves (i.e. without the fossil record). Use the example for household critters for the appropriate format. Since you did not have information from the fossil record as you constructed your diagram, you cannot change your branching classification based on that fossil information. Indicate the hypothesized evolutionary event at each branch point, e.g., if you have decided that headlessness was an ancestral character then one clade (branch) retains the ancestral character, while heads evolved at the base of the other clade. Remember, sometimes a character gained can be lost again.
