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:
Its A, the roots of plants absorb the water used in the process of photosynthesis
Explanation:
<u>Really hope this helps <3</u>
In the simulation, the brightness of the guppies is directly related to
how fast they are consumed by predators. This phenomenon is explained
simply and reflects natural selection. The brighter guppies are at a
selective disadvantage due to the ease with which predators are able to
spot them. The darker colored guppies are able to avoid predator better
so they live fore a longer time.
