Step 1
Griffith's experiments involved using two forms of Streptococcus pneumoniae: the S-form (smooth, encapsulated, and virulent) and the R-form (rough, non-encapsulated, and non-virulent). Show more…

In Griffith’s experiments, what happened when heat-killed S strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae (the lethal version) were injected into a mouse along with live R strain of this bacteria Group of answer choices DNA from the heat-killed S strain was taken up by the live R, converting it to S DNA from the live R strain was taken up by the heat-killed S, converting it to R Proteins released from the heat-killed S strain were taken up by the live R, converting it to S. Nothing

In Griffith's experiments, what happened when heat-killed S-strain bacteria were injected into a mouse along with live R-strain bacteria?
James K.
When Griffith injected mice with a combination of live rough-strain and heat-killed smooth-strain pneumococci, he discovered that (a) the mice were unharmed (b) the dead mice contained living rough-strain bacteria (c) the dead
