Given an amino acid sequence, you perform a FASTA search and find one match with an E value of le-³. What does the low E value tell you about the the homology between the matched (target) sequence and the query sequence? O The two sequences are not homologs. O Both sequences are from the same organism. O An E value of this size does not prove or disprove homology. O The two sequences are homologs.
