Answer:

Because DNA is transcribed into mRNA that encodes for proteins. DNA being genetic material, the sequence conservation leads to closely related "Proteome". Proteome is the total protein content of the organisms; similar genes indicates similar protein coding region/sequence and closely related proteome.
