a cladogram shows relations among organisms. Therefore, any adaptation process will involve closely related organisms, and how they might have progressed to the point of evolutionary necessity

Answer: Cladogram can be defined as the diagram in which the cladistics shows the relationships among organisms.

It is different from an evolutionary tree as it does not shows how the species are related to their ancestors.

It uses a line that turns into different branches in different directions ending at a clade, which shows a group of organisms with last common ancestors.
