Why are DNA sequences more similar in more closely related organisms?

In fact the organisms are closely related because the DNA sequences are more similar. DNA sequences are more different as the organism differs.

The more similar the DNA sequences of two species are the more closely related the species are?
Since all organisms have the same DNA, just different amounts and sequences, the more similar the sequences, the more closely related the organisms.
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
Do two proteins that have similar amino acid sequences have similar functions even if they are isolated from different organisms?
Functional similarity depends on the similarity percentage and the positioning of the conserved residuesin the sequences that are important for interaction. Usually the sequences showing 35% or more MAY tend to show functional similarity but again as i said it ALSO depends on the conserved residues in the sequences which may be located in the active site.
What groups of organisms are more closely related group one earthworm spider jellyfish group two frog trout centipede?
group two consist of similar creatures as they all have bilateral symmetry.
Which two organisms would most likely have the least similar nucleotide sequences in a given gene?
alligator and earthworm

The more similar the DNA sequences of two species are the more closely related the species are?
Since all organisms have the same DNA, just different amounts and sequences, the more similar the sequences, the more closely related the organisms.
Are similar genes evidence of common ancestory?
If organisms have similar genes, then they are closely related.
Comparative suggests organisms that are more closely related have more similar embryo development?
embryology
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
What type of evolution refers to two organisms that are not closely related becoming more and more similar to one another?
convergent evolution.
Did chickens come from dinosaurs?
There is good evidence that they do. Proteins from the T. rex, the oldest sequences ever reported, were similar to chicken collagen, adding to the mountain of evidence that dinosaurs are most closely related to birds.
How are arithemetic and geometric sequences similar?
how are arithmetic and geometric sequences similar
Which level contains organisms that are most closely related a phylum or a class?
The category that most similiar organisms belong to is genus.
Which two organisms below would most likely have the fewest similar nucleotide sequences in a given gene?
alligator and earthworm
What does the presence of similar DNA sequences in the genes in very dissimilar organisms imply?
It implies that the organism shares a common ancestor.
