In Griffith’s experiments, what happened when heat-killed S strain pneumoccocci were injected into a mouse along with live R strain pneumococci?
A
DNA from the live R was taken up by the heat-killed S, converting it to R and killing the mouse.
B
DNA from the heat-killed S was taken up by the live R, converting it to S and killing the mouse.
C
Proteins released from the heat-killed S killed the mouse.
D
RNA from the heat-killed S was translated into proteins that killed the mouse.
Answer
DNA from the heat-killed S was taken up by the live R, converting it to S and killing the mouse.
