Question

The experiment performed by Frederick Griffith in the 1920s demonstrated that

A)proteins contain genetic material responsible for infection.
B)both the R-form and the S-form of the bacteria are virulent.
C)bacteria are capable of undergoing gene transfers.
D)all of the above

Answer 1

Bacteria are capable of undergoing gene transfers.

Answer 2

your answer would be C.

In 1928 Frederic Griffth's experiment showed that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information through a process called transformation. He mixed the r-form which did not kill with the S-form that killed its host. the s-form transformed the r-form to the more lethal s-form.
