Question

Contrast the contributions made to an understanding of transformation by Griffith and by Avery and his colleagues.

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. Today, we need to determine which of the following outcomes in Griffith's transformation experiment is incorrect. Remember that we're looking for the incorrect statement, Amman or answer choices. We'll remember that in Griffith's transformation experiment, there were two types of strains. We had the S strain which was virulent. And then we have the R strain which was a Vernon knowing that let's go over answer choices so that we may solve this problem beginning by answer choice. A we have the living S strain of diplodocus pneumonia injected into a mouse. The mouse dies. Remember that this is a virulent strain. So it will definitely harm the mouse. This is a correct statement. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have the leaving our strain of Cocos pneumonia injected into a mouse. The mouse survives. Remember these are strain is a virulent. It is not going to harm the mouse. So we're going to cancel it out because it is also a correct statement. Then we have deep, the living are strain and the hague kill as strain difficult cause pneumonia injected into a mouse. The mouse dies. So here technically, we only have the R A virulent strain of bacteria being injected into a mouse because this strain was hit, killed. So they're dead. However, the mouse still died and this is a correct statement. So why did this happen? Well, it seems that this air strain that these are strain that was injected alongside this head kill strain that was virulent transformed. So it obtained the strait of being virulent from the strain via transformation and then it was able to harm the mouse and kill it. This is actually a correct statement as well. So we're going to cancel it out. And then we have seen the vehicle strain of diplodocus pneumonia being injected into the mouse. The mouse dies. Well, remember that the strain that we have here is virulent. So it should harm the mouse. However, it was killed, it was dead. So it is not going to be able to harm it. And there is no cells such as the ar strain that can be transformed in order to do so all cells being injected are going to be dead as a result. There is nothing to harm the most. So the most shouldn't die, the most should survive this because of this. This is incorrect. And we're going to highlight it as the final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
