Correct Option: C

Orthologs, or orthologous genes, are genes in different species that originated by vertical descent from a single gene of the last common ancestor. Paralogous sequences provide useful insight into the way genomes evolve. The genes encoding myoglobin and hemoglobin are considered to be ancient paralogs.
