No, because they do not identify individuals.
both cladograms and phylogenic trees
The three types of cladograms are rooted cladograms, unrooted cladograms, and strict consensus cladograms. Rooted cladograms include a common ancestor at the root, unrooted cladograms lack this feature, and strict consensus cladograms display only relationships supported by all data.
Because scientists find new information all the time, and this sometimes contradicts what we thought we knew. Of course we want to be as right as we can be at any given time, so the trees are revised based on the newfound facts.
No, all true trees are dicots. Bambo and palm trees are monocots, but they are not true trees.

Being that what is widely known as Cedar is actually a member of the Juniper family, this is a broad question. If what you are looking for is more of a tree type, Cedar, you can look for Port Orford Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Western Red Cedar, etc. But know that these are not true Cedars. They are members of the Juniper family. If you are looking for true cedars, try looking for Deodar or Lebanon Cedar. These are true Cedars. One of the characteristic differences between the Juniper "Cedars" and true Cedars are the leaves. Junipers have small over-lapping scales in place of the needle clumps similar to those of the Western Larch. Note that, unlike Larches, true Cedars are not deciduous.
To learn to read cladograms effectively, one can start by understanding the basic principles of cladistics, such as shared characteristics and common ancestry. Practice analyzing different cladograms and identifying the relationships between organisms. It is also helpful to study the terminology used in cladistics and seek guidance from textbooks or online resources. With consistent practice and study, one can improve their ability to interpret and understand cladograms.
Cladistics is a method in biology that groups organisms based on shared characteristics derived from a common ancestor. This approach helps to understand evolutionary relationships among species by analyzing their shared traits and constructing evolutionary trees or cladograms. By focusing on shared derived characteristics, cladistics aims to identify and classify organisms based on their evolutionary history.
Carbapples are in the Rosaceae family (Rose family).
Coconut trees belong to the Arecaceae family (palms).
Cladograms are considered hypotheses because they represent a proposed evolutionary relationship among organisms based on shared characteristics. They are subject to revision as new evidence becomes available or as the interpretation of existing evidence changes. Cladograms are used to generate testable predictions about evolutionary relationships but are not absolute truths.
Scientists do not study family trees. Geneticists are scientists who study genetics and inheritance. Genealogists study family trees, but they are not scientists.
