* Cladistics is a method of classifying organisms based on their evolutionary relationships. It uses shared derived characteristics (synapomorphies) to group organisms together. In essence, cladistics is the process of constructing evolutionary trees.
* Cladogram is the visual representation of the results of a cladistic analysis. It's a branching diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms.
Think of it this way:
* Cladistics: The detective work, figuring out the relationships.
* Cladogram: The map, showing the connections discovered.
