Griffith's experiment worked with two types of pneumococcal bacteria (a rough type and a smooth type) and identified that a "transforming principle" could transform them from one type to another.
At first, bacteriologists suspected the transforming factor was a protein. The "transforming principle" could be precipitated with alcohol, which showed that it was not a carbohydrate. But Avery and McCarty observed that proteases (enzymes that degrade proteins) did not destroy the transforming principle. Neither did lipases (enzymes that digest lipids). Later they found that the transforming substance was made of nucleic acids but ribonuclease (which digests RNA) did not inactivate the substance. By this method, they were able to obtain small amounts of highly purified transforming principle, which they could then analyze through other tests to determine its identity, which corresponded to DNA.
Answer:
The correct answer is C eukaryotes have a greater variety of genetic material than prokaryotes.
Explanation:
Prokaryotic cells consist of single chromosome and their DNA is present in a dense region called nucleoid.As one copy of each gene is present in the chromosome prokaryotic cells are haploid.The DNA of prokaryotic cells are circular
Whereas eukaryotic DNA is linear and multiple distinct chromosomes are present in eukaryotes.Two copies of each chromosome are present are in many eukaryotic cells.As a result the eukaryotic cells are diploid in nature.
Due to this greater variety of genetic material the domain eukarya are more complex than archea and or bacteria domains.
Answer: Rebekah is studying [C-nucleic acids].
Explanation: This is since both DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) and RNA (RiboNucleic Acid) contain nucleic acids, as their names show.
