The document provides practice problems for reading and analyzing cladograms. It contains two sets of questions that test the ability to interpret relationships between organisms based on their placement on sample cladograms and identify shared and distinct traits. The questions cover topics such as identifying separating traits between groups, determining the organism most related to another, and predicting DNA similarities.
