The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment<span> was an experimental demonstration, reported in 1944 by </span>Oswald Avery<span>, </span>Colin MacLeod<span>, and </span>Maclyn McCarty<span>, that </span>DNA<span> is the substance that causes </span>bacterial transformation<span>, in an era when it had been widely believed that it was </span>proteins<span> that served the function of carrying genetic information (with the very word </span>protein<span> itself coined to indicate a belief that its function was </span>primary<span>).

It was the culmination of research in the 1930s and early 20th Century at the </span>Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research<span> to purify and characterize the "transforming principle" responsible for the transformation phenomenon first described in </span>Griffith's experiment<span> of 1928: killed </span>Streptococcus pneumoniae<span> of the </span>virulent<span> strain type III-S, when injected along with living but non-virulent type II-R pneumococci, resulted in a deadly infection of type III-S pneumococci.

In their paper "</span>Studies on the Chemical Nature of the Substance Inducing Transformation of Pneumococcal Types: Induction of Transformation by a Desoxyribonucleic Acid Fraction Isolated from Pneumococcus Type III<span>", published in the February 1944 issue of the </span>Journal of Experimental Medicine<span>, Avery and his colleagues suggest that DNA, rather than protein as widely believed at the time, may be the hereditary material of bacteria, and could be analogous to </span>genes<span> and/or </span>viruses<span> in higher organisms.</span>

Which of the structures is surrounded by the connective tissue sheath known as the perimysium?
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Muscle fibers in bundles or fascicles.

Explanation:

Skeletal striated muscle is involved in dense unshaped connective tissue, the Epimysium. From the epimysium depart fine septa of connective tissue to the muscle, separating the bundles and constituting the perimysium, carrying blood vessels and lymphatics and nerves. Every muscle cell is involved in the basal lamina, reticular fibers and a small amount of connective tissue, which form the endomysium. It anchors muscle fibers between them and contains blood capillaries and axons.
