cladograms
cladistics is based on the shared characteristics between organisms and their network of evolutionary relationships
Cladistic analysis is a technique used in taxonomy whereby biological organisms are classified based on shared characteristics. Cladistics uses a tree shaped diagram to show relationships between organisms. Each set of data is based on a particular analysis method such as genetic, morphological or behavioral characteristics.
Taxonomy- branch of biology that groups and names organisms based on studies of their shared characteristics; biologists who study taxonomy are called taxonomists.
shared characteristics were considered
The more similar the two groups are, the most recent the common ancestor probably is.

Ability to multiply.
All living organisms are classified into groups based on very basic, shared characteristics
They make their own energy.

A branching tree diagram, also known as a phylogenetic tree or cladogram, is a visual representation that groups organisms together based on their shared derived characteristics. This diagram illustrates the evolutionary relationships between different species or groups of organisms. The process of creating a branching tree diagram starts with identifying the shared derived characteristics among the organisms being studied. These characteristics are traits that are unique to a particular group of organisms and have been inherited from a common ancestor. Examples of derived characteristics could include the presence of feathers in birds or the possession of a backbone in vertebrates. Once the derived characteristics are identified, the diagram is constructed by placing the organisms into branches or clades based on their shared derived traits. The more closely related organisms will be grouped together on branches that are closer to each other, indicating a more recent common ancestor. Conversely, organisms that are less closely related will be placed on branches that are more distant from each other, showing a more distant common ancestry. The branching pattern of the tree diagram represents the evolutionary relationships between the organisms. The points at which branches meet, called nodes, represent common ancestors from which the different groups have diverged. The length of the branches can indicate the amount of evolutionary change or time that has passed since the divergence from a common ancestor. Branching tree diagrams are valuable tools in understanding the evolutionary history and relationships between organisms. They provide a visual representation of the shared derived characteristics that define different groups and allow scientists to study patterns of evolution and common ancestry. These diagrams are used in various fields such as biology, paleontology, and taxonomy to classify and identify the relationships between different organisms.
The seven level system
The more similar the two groups are, the most recent the common ancestor probably is.
The three classification groups shared by all four organisms are domain, kingdom, and phylum.
