Discovery
               In 1928 it was discovered by Frederick Griffith in an experiment generally known as transformation.

Experiment
                 
 In his experiment he considered two strains of <em>streptococus pneumonia,</em> one was R-type which was non-virulent and cause no disease in mice, other was virulent and S-type which cause disease and at last death of mice.
This experiment was comprised of four steps which are as follow:

 Step 1:
           First he injected living strain of S into mice, after sometime mouce died.

Step 2:
          He injected living strain of R into mice, the mice alive as he did not got any disease.

Step 3:
         He injected heat killed strain of S into mice and mice remain alive.

Step 4:
           He mixed living R strain with heat killed S strain and then inject into mice. As a result the mice died.

Conclusion:
                  It was found that genetic material from heat killed S stain were transferred to living R (non-virulent) strain, as a result R become virulent and cause the death of mice.

Answer:

Reciprocal altruism is one of the altruism behaviors in which an individual organism helps in increasing the fitness of another organism by reducing the fitness of itself temporarily in expectation of the same behavior from another organism in the future later.

It takes place in the same set of organism partners which is a continuous interaction ion in stable groups of organisms.

Thus, the correct answer would be - an ongoing interaction in the same set of partners.

worty [1.4K]
Hybrid inviability is when a hybrid animal is biologically unable to grow up to be a healthy mature adult. This condition results in isolation from hybrids and pure breeds.

Hybrid infertility is a conditio experienced by hybrid animals when they cannot reproduce. This prevents the spreading of the hyrbid species into uncontrollable populations.
