In a series of experiments, griffith infected mice with nonvirulent r-strain bacteria and highly virulent s-strain bacteria. heat-killed s bacteria were nonvirulent. however, the nonvirulent heat-killed s bacteria and the nonvirulent r bacteria together produced a virulent mixture. what did this demonstrate?
a. the molecules present on the outside of bacteria determine whether it's virulent or nonvirulent.
b. a transforming principle in the s bacteria allowed the nonvirulent r strain to become virulent.
c. the translation of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and dna is important in determining bacterial virulence.
d. the s-strain bacteria had not been killed completely.

The correct answer is B.A transforming principle in the S bacteria allowed the nonvirulent R strain to become virulent.

Explanation:

In the transformation experiments, conducted by Fredrick Griffith in 1928, he observed that heat-killed S-strain bacteria injected into mice did not kill them. When he injected a mixture of heat-killed S and live R-bacteria, the mice died. He concluded that the R-strain bacteria had somehow been transformed by the heat-killed S-strain bacteria. This occurred perhaps due to absorption of some transforming principal or substance by rough type bacteria from heat killed smooth bacteria. It had enabled the R-strain to synthesize a smooth polysaccharide coat and become virulent. This must be due to the transfer of the genetic material. However, the biochemical nature of genetic material was defined not from his experiments.

the correct answer is: d. the saltine and pretzel are made of flour, yeast, and baking soda, and salt. the pecan contains no flour but it does contain fats. the pecan is a nut that can be consumed as a healthy snack. first of all, pecans are a source of fat (monounsaturated fat), but they provide less fat than some other nuts. pecans are a rich source of dietary fiber, manganese magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin, vitamin e…
