Answer:

It can help us understand the changes and traits that appear in our own genome, and how we change to the genome over the course of evolution can create new traits. It can also help us better understand our genetic link to other species because all life on Earth evolved from early life forms billions of years ago.

Explanation: Edmentum

All life encoded by DNA. In higher life such as plants and animals, they have chromosomes on which there are genes that code for proteins that are responsible for the traits of the organisms. The mechanism of central dogma in all organism is generally the same hence learning the concept on orchids will also contribute to the understanding of the human genome.
