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>

The nurse is caring for a patient who is to be discharged after a bowel resection and the creation of a colostomy. Which patient
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

"I can drive my car in about 2 weeks."

Explanation:

Colonoscopy is an examination that allows the doctor to analyze the inner lining of the large intestine and part of the small, corresponding to the rectum, colon and terminal ileum.  To perform colonoscopy, it is important that the patient be accompanied, because the examination is done with a sedation and its effects can last for hours, preventing the patient from practicing activities such as driving or working. However, after the sedative effects pass the patient may drive normally.

On the other hand, intestinal resection is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the patient's colon. Better known as the large intestine, the colon is a tube-shaped organ located at the end of your digestive system. Colectomy may be necessary to treat or prevent diseases and conditions that affect the colon.  After this surgery, the patient will be taken to a recovery room and monitored until anesthesia has passed. Then the health team will take the patient to his / her hospital room to continue the recovery.  The patient will stay in hospital until bowel function is restored. This may take a few days to a week. Only after this period will the patient be released to drive. That is, the patient can drive a maximum of one week after surgery.
