Question 1

Question
What would have happened if Avery had added an enzyme that digested all the nucleic acids to the mixture of heat-killed bacteria, added the mixture to harmless bacteria, and injected the mixture into mice?
Answer
  • The harmless bacteria would have been transformed, and the mice would have died.
  • The harmless bacteria would have been transformed, and the mice would have lived.
  • The harmless bacteria would not have been transfromed, and the mice would have lived.
  • The harnless bacteria would not have been transformed, and the mice would have died.
