How comparisons between the proteins of two species can yield data about their evolutionary relationship?

Take the protein cytochrome C. There is not one amino acid difference in structure between we humans and our close relatives, the chimpanzees. There are 51 differences between humans and single celled yeast in amino acids. We can strongly and simply infer from this data the evolutionary relationship among the three species mentioned here.

What is the relationship between proteins and enzyme?
Enzymes are Proteins that speed up chemical reactions.
What is the relationship between protein and chromosomes?

What are the differences between homology and similarity?
homology is the equality between two sequences that show the same evolutionary pattern and similarity is the likeness between two sequences that may not follow an identical evolutionary relationship.
What is phylogeny?
I think you mean phylogeny. Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of a species or group of related species.
What is the relationship between amino acids and proteins?
Proteins are made up of (long strings of) amino acids.Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are around 20 amino acids in total. By joining together they form long chain proteins.
Which observation could be best used to indicate an evolutionary relationship between two species?
They have similar base sequences.
What is the relationship between an organism's DNA and protein specificity?
The proteins are made up of the DNA strands. The proteins will be determined by the DNA that is within the organism.
What scientist first hypothesized that gene sequences cold provide new insights into evolutionary relationship between organisms such as microbes?
Pauling
