Definition of cladogram in English:
cladogram
noun ˈkleɪdə(ʊ)ɡramˈkladə(ʊ)ɡramˈkladəˌɡramˈklādəˌɡram
Biology A branching diagram showing the cladistic relationship between a number of species.
Example sentencesExamples
- The first group is identical to the commelinoid group of monocotyledons identified as a monophyletic clade in cladograms using the rbcL gene.
- Biologists often specify the evolutionary relationships among organisms via a treelike diagram called a cladogram.
- The result of a cladistic analysis is a cladogram, a diagram of nested synapomorphies that defines relationships in a relative way.
- A strict consensus of these cladograms yielded eight taxa resolved at the base of the cladogram and 18 taxa partly resolved in four subclades, but the majority of taxa were unresolved.
- In this cladogram and in all other eukaryote cladograms, we use the following color scheme: animals are blue, fungi are dark red, plants are green, and protists are yellow.
