I had this same question, so I believe I know what cladogram it is. If I am correct, the answer is that lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. The cladogram shows that a common ancestor exists between these four vertebrates, but the statement that best explains the genetics showed by this cladogram is that lizards and snakes are more genetically alike than lizards and birds. Hope this helps! (:
