Answer:

The correct answer is - 3 × 10⁻²

Explanation:

first find LKo = length of BDNA/ 10.5 bp/turn

= 4200/10.5

= 400

now calculate Δ LK= LK - LKo

ΔLK = 412-400

ΔLK = 12

now, superhelix density  = ΔLK/LKo

⇒ 12/400 = 0.03

= 3×10⁻²

Thus, the correct answer is - 3 × 10⁻²

What is the selection pressure for dinosaurs evolving into birds?
s2008m [1.1K]
In the 1990s, an influx of new dinosaur fossils from China revealed a feathery surprise. Though many of these fossils lacked wings, they had a panoply of plumage, from fuzzy bristles to fully articulated quills. The discovery of these new intermediary species, which filled in the spotty fossil record, triggered a change in how paleontologists conceived of the dinosaur-to-bird transition. Feathers, once thought unique to birds, must have evolved in dinosaurs long before birds developed.
As dinosaurs morphed into birds, they shrank dramatically and adopted a more babylike skull shape.
