Fred Griffith studied two strains of Streptococcus pneumonia, one that causes a lethal infection when injected into mice, and a

second that is harmless. He observed that
pathogenic bacteria that have been killed by heating can no longer cause an infection. But
when these heat-killed bacteria are mixed with live, harmless bacteria, this mixture is capable of infecting and killing a mouse. What did Griffith conclude from this
experiment?
(a) The infectious strain cannot killed by heating.
(b) The heat-killed pathogenic bacteria "transformed" the harmless strain into a lethal one.
(c) The harmless strain somehow revived the heat-killed pathogenic bacteria.
(d) The mice had lost their immunity to infection with S. pneumoniae.

Answer:

The correct answer is b The heat killed pathogenic bacteria transformed the harmless strain into a lethal one.

Explanation:

Griffith used S.pneumoniae to study whether DNA is the genetic material or not.

  The heat killed pathogenic bacteria can no longer cause infection.But when these heat killed bacteria are mixed with live harmless bacteria this mixture is capable of infecting and killing a mouse .This incident occurs due to DNA transformation which leads to transfer of DNA from heat killed pathogenic bacteria to the live harmless bacteria thus transforming the harmless bacteria into lethal and infectious agent.

How does an animals level fitness relate to its chance of survival and reproduction
maks197457 [2]
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but a fit animal is one that is able to out-compete with other animals in its ecosystem. It possesses some kind of advantage, which makes it easier to compete with others for food, water, shelter, and mates. Due to these qualities, the animal is obviously able to live for a good deal of time and have a greater chance of producing viable offspring.

1 Pterodactyl (reptile)
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Analogous structures are structures which serve similar function in different organisms and evolved independently in two living organisms while homologous structures are the structures which are similar in related orgnanism due to inheritance.

The wings of Pterodactyl, bats and birds are conisdered as analogous structure. <u>they are similar in structure and same in function and evolved independently in the two groups of animals.</u>

Bones in  forelimbs of pterodactyl, bats and birds are  considered homologous  structures as <u>they inherited the pattern from a common ancestor and have different functions.</u>
