I. Introduction

Systematics is defined as the branch of science that deals with organizations, classification, and
identification of organism. From data to information. Systematics is perspective that recognizes the need
for coherent approach for making sense, understanding organizing the data and information. (Alberch et.
al) Systematics is the study of the units of biodiversity. Systematics differs from ecology in that the latter
is concerned with the interactions of individuals (and therefore species) in a particular time, while the
former is concerned with the diversification of lineages through time.

A cladogram is a diagram used to represent a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals, called
a phylogeny. A cladogram is used by a scientist studying phylogenetic systematics to visualize the groups
of organisms being compared, how they are related, and their most common ancestors (BD Editors,
2017). The cladogram is derived from the Greek phrases clados and gramma in which ‘clados’ method
department and ‘gramma’ method characters. It is an unscaled illustration of a phylogenetic evaluation in
which best the topography of the diagram matters. However, it doesn’t have any time axis and is
alternatively an easy diagram that summarizes a sample of characters amongst distinct organisms.
Although a cladogram consists of hypothetical ancestors to derive a relationship, it's far the place to begin
for additional evaluation.

In the 18th century, the Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus he invented our modern system of taxonomy
and classification was one of leading naturalist in the 18 century when he study of natural history was
considered one of the most prestigious area of science. Linnaeus adheard rigidly to the principle that each
species must be identified by set of names which are termed the "genus and species" their classification
base on their differences and similarities. Linnaeus produced a comprehensive list of all organisms then
know worldwide. He wrote one of the great classic works in the history of science Systema Naturae and
Revised it may time

II. Methods
Our methods begins by getting our species, we download the pictures and data from Gensys. Gensys
is a site that was provided by our instructor. After that we gathered information on internet via
Google, we proof read the data or information we gathered and paraphrase it. Then we create a
character matrix by rearrange the species and the demorphic characters and we interpret the results.
III. Results and Discussion
Benumbra Lacrocs Azter Ruvere bird Brood crixalis QUOBBITS
(Leizatle (Lacertilia (Shneizel (Ruselus (Crixalia
baemus) gharials) alasteir) ygalitus) derioherah)
Tail 1 1 1 1 1 1
Scales 1 1 O O O O
Limbs 1 1 1 O 1 1
Fur O O 1 O O 1
Mouth 1 1 1 1 O 1
Table 1.1 This table shows the character matrix of taxa from GenSys.

The Cladogram below shows the hierarchic relationship of species from GenSys. As you
can see, Ruvere bird has a 1 tail and mouth with 0 scales, limb and fur while Brood Crixalis has
1 tail and limb with no scales, fur and mouth. Meanwhile, Azter and Quobbits had the same data
having 1 fur, 1 tail, 1 limb, 1 mouth with 0 Scale. On the other hand, Benumbra (Leizatle
baemus) and Lacrocs also had the similar statistic having 1 scale, 1 tail, 1 limb, 1 mouth with 0
Fur.

The Cladogram below shows the hierarchic relationship of species from GenSys. It
shows all these six species has a tail and Brood crixalis known as Crixalia derioherah is the most
primitive among them all. It shows that Ruvere bird or known as Ruselus ygalitus is the only
organism that does not have limbs. The cladogram shows that Brood crixalis known as Crixalia
derioherah is the only organism does not have mounth. It shows that Ruvere bird also known as
Ruselus ygalitus and Quobbits has fur among the six. It also shows that Benumbra also known as
Leizatle baemus and Lacrocs that also known as Lacertilia gharials are the only two that has Scales
among the six organisms.
IV. CONCLUSSION
For this activity we chose six species or organism that we will compare from each other.

We will use cladogram which represents a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals,
called phylogeny. This cladogram will determine the species relationship and what similarities and
differences they have. We can say that the species or organisms we chose for this activity has a variety of
unique features, they also have similarities with each other, or maybe they belong to the same family or
genus. Finally in the end of our paper we share our ideas to produce a good data or outcome upon doing
this activity.
