Cladogram
In this project we used various hardwares(nails and screws), and we created a cladogram based on their traits. Also we have to creat a story on how each species evolved.
Key terms:
Evolution: A process through which organisms take advantage of beneficial mutations to slowly change to better survive in their environment.
Cladogram: a branching diagram showing the similarities among species, lineages, and ancestors, either direct, or common.
Speciation: the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.

Reflection:
This project was the very first major project that we done this year so our groups will naturally have holes. We had very little good things happened this project, probably the only thing that went well is we got the project done. We had many thing went wrong, for example one of our team member was absent for the presentation , and we are mostly confused for the entire project. Out of all the bad things, we at least learned something for example we learned what is a cladogram, and we learned the skill of how to finish a project when the whole team is confused. We could of improved on this project many ways for example group members should not be slacking off, and offering ideas, also we have to split up the work properly.

Key Terms:
Transitional species: Fossils or organisms that show the intermediate states between an ancestral form and that of its descendants.
Common ancestor: A species that two or more species are evolved from.
Evolution: A process through which organisms take advantage of beneficial mutations to slowly change to better survive in their environment.

Overall this project Adam and I work really well on this project because we are always on point and helping each other. In this project we learn that whales are evolved from a type of wolf. Also we learned that evolution takes a long time. we could improve on this project on that we could chose our animal more quickly because of our indecisiveness we wasted some time. we could also improve our style of our presentation by having custom formats.

This lab was one of the worst lab that our class have performed because out of 23 people only 4 people got results. In this lab we learned about how to make PCR, and we have to learn on how to use the tools in the biology lab. We could of definitely improve this lab on I following the procedure properly, and stay on task in class so I would not fall behind.
