Yes; changes in DNA are the vehicle by which evolution occurs.

How can DNA show some evidence of evolution?

DNA can provide evidence of evolution through the presence of homologous genes, which are genes shared among different species that originated from a common ancestor. Additionally, the similarity of DNA sequences between related species can show how closely they are related evolutionarily. Mutations in DNA can also accumulate over time, leading to genetic variation that drives evolutionary change.

Chimpanzees and bonobos are the animals most closely related to humans, sharing about 98 of our DNA.


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

DNA sequences are more similar in closely related organisms because they share a common ancestor and have undergone fewer genetic changes over time. As organisms diverge and evolve, mutations accumulate in their DNA, leading to differences in their genetic sequences. Therefore, closely related organisms have had less time to accumulate mutations, resulting in more similar DNA sequences.


Why do organism not closely related sometimes look similar?

Convergent Evolution is the reason. :)


Which one of the following human ancestors is most closely related to modern humans?

Based on the comparison of DNA, the animals most closely related to humans are Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Gorillas, and Oranutans. Of those, the Chimpanzee has the least variation from HumanDNA.
