Who discovered that dna was the genetic material or transforming factor that could convert nonvirulent r-type streptococcus pneu
KatRina [158]
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.

grigory [225]

Answer:

Charles Darwin

Explanation:

Natural selection, most famously proposed by Charles Darwin, states that when presented with an environmental challenge, some individuals in a species will develop adaptations to face these challenges. Successful individuals will be more likely to mate and their offspring will inherit these adaptive traits, and will continue to pass for generations.

In this sense, plants face the challenge of the cold. Those that adapt to the cold will survive and reproduce, those that can't adapt to the cold will die. Eventually, only plants that can tolerate the cold will survive.
