In 1928, Frederick Grittith was looking at the bacteria that cause pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therea are two different types of this bacteria, one termed "smooth" (due to a polysaccharide capsule that encases it) and one termed "rough" (no capsule).
When he injected mice with the live harmless rough strain alone they didn't get sick and lived.
When he injected mice with the disease-causing smooth strain alone they got sick and died.
He then heated the disease causing smooth strain and injected it into the mice. Since the bacteria had been heating, its proteins were denatured and it was dead. Hence it did not cause the mouse any harm.
However, when he mixed the heat-killed disease causing smooth bacteria, with the live harmless rough bacteria and injected it, the mouse died. Confused, Griffith took a sample of the bacteria from the dead mouse and noticed that it was smooth coated. Sine the smooth coated bacteria he had injected were dead, he concluded that the live rough coated strain must have absorbed genetic material from the smooth coated strain, allowing it to now posses a smooth coat.
<span>He called this process "transformation" and the factor that caused it the "transforming factor" which was later shown to be DNA. Hope this helps!!</span>

<h3>What is an unconscious state?</h3>

An unconscious state is when an individual can't respond to external stimuli and lacks the ability to carry out the activities of daily living.

When an individual falls from a height and becomes unconscious, a general impression of this patient would be deciding that the patient's fall was severe and injured the patient's leg.

This is so because of the physical assessment of the patient upon arrival of the health personnel.
