Abbreviate the animals that will be placed across the top of the cladogram by using the first letter of their name.
K= kangarro
L= lamprey
M= Rheus monkey
B= bullfrog
H= human
S= snapping turtle
T= tuna

After you have completed Question F. Return to this cladogram and put in lines for the 3 additional species. Use abbreviations:
I (for iguana-like), R (for rat-like), G (for goldfish like).

Use the Set Trait numbers for the nodes (#1-7) on the cladogram. You will have to add a hash mark (or circle or square) for each of the nodes. The cladogram backbone has been drawn for you.
