Genes that have homologs in a variety of species have been discovered through the analysis of genome sequences.
 
  In fact, it is not uncommon to find a family of homologous genes encoding proteins that are unmistakably similar in amino acid sequence in organisms as diverse as budding yeast, archaea, plants, and humans. Even more remarkably, many of these proteins can substitute functionally for their homologs in other organisms. Explain what it is about the origins of cells that makes it possible for proteins expressed by homologous genes to be functionally interchangeable in different organisms.
