Why can similarities in amino acid sequences be used to determine species relatedness?

You are born with all of you amino acids

amino acids control which DNA is used to build you

DNA codes for amino acid sequences, so similar amino acid sequences indicate similar DNA

amino acids cannot provide valid data on species relatedness
