When comparing evolutionary similarities between different genes within a gene family, it is usually more straightforward to compare genes by using the protein sequences of gene products rather than DNA sequences of the genes themselves. Explain why this is the case.

Explain the statement "In a comparison between the DNAS of related organisms such as humans and mice, identifying the conserved DNA sequences facilitates the search for functionally important regions" is true or false.

Should similarities in the DNA sequences of genes be considered evolutionary homology? Explain.

You are analyzing cells that express a fusion gene encoding a FLAG-tagged protein of interest. Upon amino acid sequence analysis, you find that the FLAG protein sequence aligns to the sequence at the end of the fusion protein sequence you have. Where is the tag sequence located?   Group of answer choices At the 5’ end of the gene and the C-term of your protein of interest At the 5’ end of the gene and the N-term of your protein of interest At the 3’ end of the gene and the C-term of your protein of interest At the 3’ end of the gene and the N-term of your protein of interest
