Explanation:
phylogram :
- A phylogram is a branching diagram (tree) that is assumed to be an estimate of a phylogeny.
- The branch lengths are proportional to the amount of inferred evolutionary change.
- A cladogram is a branching diagram (tree) assumed to be an estimate of a phylogeny where the branches are of equal length.
phenogram :
- a branching diagrammatic tree used in phenetic classification to illustrate the degree of similarity among taxa — compare cladogram.
- phenogram A type of dendrogram which is based on phenetic data (see PHENETIC CLASSIFICATION).
- Lines called phenon lines, drawn at right angles to the dichotomously branching dendrogram, represent lines of percentage similarity of phenetic features between organisms.

◆ Difference between cladogram & phenogram.
➻ Both cladogram & phenogram are the methods of building photogenic trees.
➻ Cladogram rely on ancestral assumptions while phenogram don't take evolutionary history into account.
➻ Branch lengths provide no data in cladogram but are very important in phenograms.
➻ Cladograms emphasize more on ancestral relationships and phenograms emphasize more on current relationships.
