High concentrations of salt can inhibit the growth of bacteria by causing the bacteria to shrink because water leaves the bacterial cell.

<h3>What is a Hypertonic solution?</h3>

This is defined as a type of solution which has a large amount of particles which are dissolved thereby making it have a high concentration.

High concentrations of salt applied to the outside of the meat means it is hypertonic and therefore causes the bacteria to shrink because water molecule leaves the cells thereby destroying their structure preventing metabolic reactions from occurring which leads to their death.

Answer:

The basic principle of Darwinism is "survival of the fittest". Darwin's theory  stated that all species of an organism develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations in organisms that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce in the wild.

Darwin's trip to the Galapagos Islands actually was the beginning of his Social Darwinism Theory. During his visit to the islands, Darwin noted that the  unique creatures were similar from island to island, but well-adapted to their environments. This led him to ponder the origin of the islands' inhabitants.

Darwin's finches (the Galapagos beaks) are considered to be the world’s fastest-evolving vertebrates. This is because their appearance and behavior quickly adapt to the closed and rapidly changing environment on the Galapagos Islands.

DNA carries the instructions to make ?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Proteins.

Protein synthesis (process includes transcription and translation):

      The DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) by mRNA in the nucleus then translated in ribosomes which will instruct tRNA to collect specific amino acids to bring back to the ribosome by reading 3 letters at once (called codon, and one codon codes for 1 amino acid). Those amino acids will attach to each other and when the sequence codes for stop, it stops, and a protein forms.
