Answer:
Cytochrome c is an enzyme found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. Here it is given that the human amino acid sequence for cytochrome c differs at 12 locations from the sequence in horses and pigeons. This information might be useful for inferring in preliminary stages that horses and pigeons are closely related to each other since they both show similar amount of difference from humans.
However, this hypothesis is being made with respect to the the comparison between "humans and horses" and "humans and pigeons". To further test this hypothesis pigeons and horses should be directly compared to each other without the use of a third species like humans. Hence, the sequence for cytochrome c in horse and pigeon should be compared with each other rather than comparing to humans.
Yes, horses and pigeons should be compared with each other instead of humans.
Supporting or refuting this hypothesis:
It is to be made for comparing the human & horses and humans & pigeons. For further, we have to take pigeons and horses that should be compared with each other without using the third species such as humans. So here the sequence for cytochrome c in horse and the pigeon should be compared with each other instead of comparing with humans.
