Judith Sweeney · Answer 1

C) It can show you which organism is most closely related to the human.

Explanation:

Different proteins might have same structure and function in different organisms

Quinn Waller · Answer 2

C

Explanation:

It can show you which organism is most closely related to the human. The more similar the DNA, the greater the degree of relatedness, or the more recent in time the two organisms diverged from a common ancestor. If there is a great difference in DNA sequencing, this suggests that the organisms shared a common ancestor a long time ago.
