Answers:
- The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
- The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.
1- Explanation:
6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.
For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.
2- Explanation:
A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.

The ph level of blood is supposed to be 7.4, so her body will make he blood more basic.
Think of a Tree like a organic solar panel its leaves are cells basically what they do is turn the solar energy into food for themselves if the roots of the tree are too compressed the tree can get root rash and not have enough space to grow. It is important to always put trees in loose soil and let gravity do the work so that it will compact it at the right rate but, earthworms are a great way of fixing root rash because they will dig tunnels all around the roots for them to drink nitrates and nitrites in the soil for nutrients. The leaves turn a yellow color if the roots are that way or if there isn't enough phosphorus in the soil.
