DNA sequences

1- Biologists often use comparisons of DNA sequences to test hypotheses about evolutionary relationships. The more closely the DNA sequences of two species match, the more closely they are related. There is a great deal of technical laboratory work involved in this type of DNA analysis and yet it is considered observational data. Why?
