From the calculations and the information taht we can glean from the question, the mass of the antibiotic left after 12 hours is 8.59 mg.

<h3>What is decay?</h3>

The term decay has to do with the breakdown of a chemical substance. Since the decay depends only on the initial amount of the drug the process folows the first order kinetics.

Hence;

N = amount left at time t

No= amount initual present

t = time taken

t1/2 = half life of the drug

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N/550 = (1/2)^12/2

N = 550[(1/2)^12/2]

N = 8.59 mg

In the experiments conducted by Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod, which hypothetical result would indicate that protein, not nucleic
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Only the extracts from heat-killed cells treated with RNase are unable to transform nonvirulent bacteria into virulent bacteria.

Explanation:

The experiment by Avery, McCarty and MacLeod aimed to identify Griffith's "transforming principle," which is a principle that explains how transformation is a way of recombining, exchanging, or transferring genetic information between organisms or from one organism to another. For this, they used cell that were heat inactivated and purified the transforming principle of these cells.

The purified cells did not give positive results in the tests done by the scientists, but they presented transformants very similar to the DNA. However, Avery suspected that the result should be reinterpreted and that the molecule was not a DNA. This is because RNA degrading enzymes had no effect on the transforming principle and only RNase-treated heat-killed cell extracts are unable to transform non-virulent bacteria into virulent bacteria.
