Answer:

The correct answer is b. Neutrophils

Explanation:

Neutrophils are the cells that first reach to the infection side and kills the bacteria. Neutrophils comprises most part of WBCs approximately 50-70% of total WBCs. Neutrophils kills the foreign bacteria by engulfing them and this process is called phagocytosis.

The engulfed bacteria is called phagosome and phagosome then fuse with lysosome making phagolysosome. Now fused lysosome secrete lytic enzymes like proteases, lipases and glycosidases which kills the engulfed bacteria by digesting them.

So neutrophils will be the first cells migrates to prevent bacterial infection in the hand of 20 year old boy who shoots his hand with nail gun.

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.
