"the sports gene": which detail most strongly supports the idea that a longer

Not only do the other statements (b and c) go against this claim, but the first one directly expresses a causation. Indeed, through the use of the verb lead to, this sentence affirms that the fact that kangaroos have longer tendons than other bipeds is the reason why they are able to jump instead of simply walking.
