A conserved gene could mean one of two things:
1. The nucleotide sequence of the gene shows little to no variation between generations
2. The nucleotide sequence of a gene under study shows little to no variation in the genomes of different species, suggesting an evolutionary link.
Both definitions are centered around the observation that conserved sequences do not change significantly over time

If a chromosome is highly methylated?
The gene is not expressed, even if it is a normal gene in every other way.
How does the COX1 protein still functionif the COX1 gene is altered between species?
The COX1 protein can still function if the gene is altered between species due to its high rate of mutation as well as the fact that its sequence is conserved.
