In Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty's experiments, homogenates from heat-killed bacteria were treated with different enzymes, and then the ability of those homogenates to transform bacteria was assayed. Under which condition would transformation not occur? Treatment with RNase and protease Treatment with protease Treatment with DNase Treatment with RNase

In which of the following scenarios was the transformation principle observed in Griffith's experiment? The S cells are lethal to the mice The R cells are lethal to the mice The heat killed R cells mixed with S cells are lethal to the mice The heat killed S cells mixed with R cells kill the mice Predict the results of Avery and McLeod's experiment if RNA was the protein. In which samples would transformation still occur? Each sample has heat-killed S cells and living R cells plus one of the following enzymes. The sample treated with an enzyme to degrade DNA (DNAse) The sample treated with an enzyme to degrade RNA (RNAse) The sample treated with an enzyme to degrade protein (protease)

'In order to show that DNA in cell extracts is responsible for genetic transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae, important corroborating evidence should indicate that also destroy transforming activity: enzymes that hydrolyze RNA enzymes that hydrolyze polysaccharides enzymes that hydrolyze proteins enzymes that hydrolyze DNA temperatures high enough to kill cells'
