First  you  determine  the   total mass  of  the   strawberries used
Then  determine  the    mass  of  the   DNA  obtained  from  the  strawberries
percentage  mass  is  therefore  equal  to  mass  of  the  DNA  obtained  divided  by  total  mass  strawberries  multipy  by   a  100

<span>Weigh the strawberry and record its total weight. Cut off a small piece of the strawberry, weigh the piece, and record the piece's weight. Crush the weighed piece and treat it with a substrate that will suspend particles with negative charges. Filter the materials suspended in the substrate to isolate the strands of DNA. Use imaging tools to find the exact mass of the DNA. Divide that mass by the mass of the strawberry piece and multiply by 100% to get the percentage of the strawberry's mass that is DNA.</span>

In every species in nature, some individuals survive while may others die.

Hutton, Lyell:

The environment of organisms may change over time.

Darwin's revolutionary ideas were influenced by a number of scientists and thinkers of the time:

Jean Baptiste Lamarck:

A botanist and zoologist, Lamarck, for, the first time, proposed the idea of evolutionary changes or adaptations in organisms in response to changes in the environment. He introduced the concept of inheritance of acquired characters.

Thomas Malthus:

Thomas Malthus was not a biologist, but an economist who proposed the ideas that at the rate of the current population growth, human population would eventually suffer from famine and starvation.This would lead to the deaths of the weakest of the population. This idea inspired Darwin to formulate the idea of "the survival of the fittest".

Charles Lyell and James Hutton:

Charles Lyell and James Hutton were famous geologists who greatly influenced Darwin with their theories about the beginning and evolution of the Earth. Charles Lyell proposed that the present state of the Earth was a result of small, gradual changes. James Hutton theorized that the processes that too place at the beginning of the Earth were still in progress.

Lyell and Hutton's work paved the way for the formulation of the theory of natural selection.
