The Griffith's experiment used cells that were naturally competent, that is, able to take up DNA from the environment without any experimental manipulation. What would you expect his results to be if he had NOT used naturally competent bacterial species?

Select one:

a. Mice in the R strain plus heat-killed S strain treatment would die

b. Mice in the R strain only treatment would die

c. No S strain bacteria would be present in any treatment

d. Mice in the R strain plus heat-killed S strain would not die

e. Mice treated with R strain, but not S strain, would die

Answer #1

Answer- D. Mice in the R strain plus heat-killed S strain would not die

Only when R strain are taking up S strain DNA and are transformed, then Mouse is killed. If R strain cells are not taking up S strain DNA then, there is no transformation, mice will not die.

R strain- mouse lives ( Non- virulent)

R stain+ S stain - mouse dies

S stain- Mouse dies ( virulent)

R stain+ heat-killed S stain in case of competent cells- Mouse dies

R stain + heat-killed S stain in case of non-competent cells- Mouse lives.

please give a thumbs up !!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!! If you have more doubts regarding the question, please ask in the comment box!!!

    D 18) How did Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty demonstrate that Griffith's transforming principle was DNA? A) Injecting live S-strain bacteria alone could not kill a mouse. B) Injecting heat-killed S-strain bacterial alone could not kill a mouse. C) Heat-killed S-strain bacterial transformed live R-strain bacteria into live S-strain bacteria. D) DNase, an enzyme that destroys DNA, eliminated the biological activity of the transforming material. E) RNase, an enzyme that destroys RNA, had no effect on the transforming principle.

    III. You isolate a new species of bacteria that only grows in the Antarctic. A wild type strain of this bacteria can synthesize its own alanine (alat) and its own tryptophan trp' ), both of which are essential amino acids. A mutant strain of the same bacterium cannot synthesize either of those two amino acids (ala trp'). You are interested in the degree of linkage between the ala and the trp genes in this new bacterial species. Fortunately, this species...

The bacteriophage would become permanently dormant and unresponsive to environmental cues for reproduction. C. The bacteriophage would attach its genes to the bacteria’s DNA, allowing its genes to be...
