You have sequenced the genome of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium, and you are using BLAST analysis to identify similarities within the S. typhimurium genome to known proteins. You find a protein that is 100% identical in the bacterium Escherichia coli. When you comparenucleotide sequences of the S. typhimurium and E. coli genes, you find that their nucleotide sequences are only 87% identical.

a. Explain this observation.
b. What do these observations tell  you about the merits of nucleotide versus protein-similarity searches in identifying related genes?
