• You will be given a cladogram with numbers on it and be asked to use it to determine which organisms diverged the longest ago or most recently, etc.
• 2-3 short answer questions comparing organisms from various groups (like aves and reptilia),  using Uniprot and Jalview to make cladogram, the concept of molecular clocks, why we classify, etc.
• A data-based question on biodiversity that has 3-4 short questions  No time for this one this year!
