EASY QUESTION BRAINLIEST!!!
Cladistics is a way of classifying organisms by examining the characteristics of their ancestors and descendants and depicting the relationships in a cladogram. Which of the following best describes a challenge in classifying organisms this way?

A) There are millions of species on Earth, and a cladogram is not a practical means for classifying all of them.
B) It is impossible to tell which organisms are most closely related to each other using a cladogram.
C) Cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships.
D)There is a limited number of ways to organize the information, so most cladograms end up looking very similar.

Answer:

C) Cladograms are detail-oriented and do not provide a useful understanding of evolutionary relationships.

Explanation:

Cladograms are not necessarily helpful because sometimes organisms with similar characteristics can emerge based on environmental factors and not necessarily from the same ancestors. This is the idea of convergent evolution where two species can have same characteristics but are not related at all and since, cladograms are based on depicting evolutionary relationship based on similar characteristics, it fails to take into account the effects of convergent evolution where same characteristics does not necessarily mean same ancestor.

Cladogram is not an evolutionary tree so it does not show an evolutionary relationship or kinship among ancestors and descendants

Does that make sense?
