Birds share many similarities with a certain group of dinosaurs that includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Velociraptor. Like b
irds, these dinosaurs had hollow bones and scales. Fossil evidence shows that many had feathers and some could fly. Evidence also suggests these dinosaurs were warm-blooded. Given the similarities, identify one characteristic that could be used to differentiate birds from dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs, based on recent studies show that they were larger animals and its not possible now for a bird to be the same height or weight as a dinosaur back then
But this rule rule is applicable only for double stranded DNA molecule. The possibility of Adenine=40% and Thymine=60% is only in single stranded DNA molecule. In the question, the DNA sample referred is a single stranded DNA. hope it helps :D
