If you wanted to compare the genetic makeup of two organisms of the same species, e.g., two human beings, would you use the Hamming distance, the Jaccard coefficient, or a different measure of similarity or distance? Explain. (Note that two human beings share > 99.9% of the same genes.)

This exercise compares and contrasts some similarity and distance measures.


Two human beings share >99.9% of the same genes. If we want to
compare the genetic makeup of two human beings, we should focus on
their differences. Thus, the Hamming distance is more appropriate in
this situation.
