HELP!!!! 50PTS!!! AND WILL BE MARKED BRAINLIEST!!!!


Based on the information in the data table and the cladogram shown below, which of the following best describes the evolutionary history of lizards? (4 points)

Amniotic membrane Bipedal locomotion Hair Jaws Lack of tail Lungs
Gorilla X X X X X X
Human X X X X X X
Lamprey
Leopard X X X X X
Lizard X X X
Salamander X X
Shark X

Image depicts a cladogram with lamprey, shark, salamander, lizard, leopard, gorilla, and human represented. Shark diverges from lamprey with the introduction of jaws. Salamander diverges from shark with the introduction of lungs. Lizard diverges from salamander with the introduction of amniotic membrane. Leopard diverges from lizard with the introduction of hair. Gorilla diverges from leopard with the absence of a tail. Human diverges from gorilla with bipedal locomotion.

They are more closely related to lampreys than they are to leopards.
They evolved into a separate species as a result of the presence of an amniotic membrane.
They have jaws and lungs but lack an amniotic membrane.
They share a more recent common evolutionary ancestor with salamanders than they do with sharks. I think is D

The cladogram shows that lizards share a more recent common evolutionary ancestor with salamanders than they do with sharks.

What is cladogram?

A cladogram is a diagram in the form of a tree wgich shows the evolutionary relationship between organisms based on similarities shared in structure or function.

The cladogram given show that sharks, lizards and salamanders have a common origin but that Lizard diverges from salamander with the introduction of amniotic membrane.

Therefore, Lizards share a more recent common evolutionary ancestor with salamanders than they do with sharks.
