historical information regarding one’s ancestry, and tells a lot of how life has evolved (6,7). Cytochrome C is a protein that enables one to establish evolutionary relationships, as it’s found amongst all living organisms that require oxygen for survival, and it only varies slightly amongst related species (6,7).
