There are 1049 ways to code just that one version of cytochrome c that humans and chimps share. The proteins are identical. The genomes responsible differ by one base pair, a difference that happens to be non-functional.

You are contradicting yourself in the same paragraph. Something that is identical cannot have any differences, not one. Also let me note Vade, that you just keep repeating the same statement without addressing my response.

Wrong. Identical proteins can be produced by non-identical genes. Note VadeRetro said the difference was in the NUCLEOTIDE sequence, i.e. a "silent mutation".

No. In the post you're responding to, I left off quizzing you and simply told you what was going on. There are the proteins (identical) and the genes (one non-effective difference). Interesting that you still acknowledge no failure of reading and/or comprehension but bluster and rage at others.
