Goddy,
Seeing as the DNA provides the instructions for building the organism
So why do metabolic molecules, such as cytochrome c, trees match as well?

Doddy,
If the creature is a small, active one (e.g. finch) it will have a metabolism designed for that sort of action. On the other hand, a large, slow creature (e.g. a tortoise) will have different metabolism again
And yet a tortoise has more similar sequences to a bird than a small mammal with a high metabolism. Exactly what you wouldn't expect, but I would.
