I do remember one of 'em saying that it's a sign the designer used common parts

Yeah, except the parts are not exactly the same from one organism to the next...

another one proposing research into why ape DNA is more vulnerable to mutation than monkey DNA

Let's see... big, nearly hairless apes toast themselves in tanning beds and on beaches, their DNA is cooked from the UV... monkeys don't tan... Question answered, and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars saved for not having to do the research.

Actually, the point I was making is that the part in question, a muatation that blocks vitamin-C synthesis, IS identical in people and great apes.

Of course not, because a higher organism requires different DNA. If it was exactly the same you would have the same species would you not? Guess, you must have been sick when that class was given.
