The virulent form of the bacteria S. pneumoniae is called the S strain because it is surrounded by a polysaccharide coat that ma

kes it appear smooth under a microscope. Sometimes the S strain mutates into a non-virulent form (called the R strain), which lacks the polysaccharide coat and appears rough. Frederick Griffith performed an experiment in which he injected mice with different combinations of these bacterial strains.

Answer:

1. living s strain= mice dies

2. heat killed s strain= mice live

3. living r strain= mice live

4. heat killed s strain + living r strain= mice die

Explanation:

Options

1. living s strain

2. heat killed s strain

3. living r strain

4. heat killed s strain + living r strain

Solution

It is known that S strain of the pneumococcal bacteria has virulent properties and hence it can kill an organism but when this S strain is heated its virulent factor dies and it becomes ineffective. R strain on the other hand does not possess virulent characteristics and hence it does not affect the mice. If R virulent is mixed with heat killed S strain, the new  strain is  transformed virulent strain which could kill an organism.

Considering above description, the answer would be  

1. living s strain= mice dies

2. heat killed s strain= mice live

3. living r strain= mice live

4. heat killed s strain + living r strain= mice die
