Griffith experiment

Griffith used two types of bacteria in his experiment

1. R-type: it was non-virulent and cause no disease in mice

2. S-type: It was virulent and cause disease in mice which lead to death.

However when heat killed S-type was applied no disease was occurred in mice. Then he mixed heat killed S-type and live R-type and injected it into mice. He was expecting that no disease will be caused in mice.

Results
             However, mice was died.

Conclusion
                   He was confused from this experiment. But later it was confirmed by other scientists that DNA from heat killed S-type was shifted to R-type. the progeny which formed from this transfer of DNA were virulent and cause the death of mice.

significance

It was concluded from this experiment that DNA is a hereditary material which transfer characters from parents to offspring.

describe two alternative photosynthesis pathways found in plants suggest how how these adaptions might help plants
klio [65]

a. Sugar cane, corn, carbgrass which are identified as C4 Plants allow fixation of carbon dioxide into four carbon compounds. This happens during the  hottest time of the day - their so-called stomata gets partially closed. C4 plants have been identified to lose only half of the water that C3 plants lose when they produce the similar amount of carbs.

<span>b.CAM PATHWAY - Plants such as pineapples and cactus have different approach to adapting heat. Carbon is fixed through a cam pathway. They use it to open their stomata at night and close it in the morning.</span>

Develop a hypothesis regarding how using contaminated or purified water might affect plant biodiversity. which pot do you believ
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Contaminated water such as polluted water can sometimes cause an explosion of new plant growth by providing necessary nutrients and food and at other times it can kill or harm plants such as by raising or lowering acidity. Plants need at least good levels of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus for healthy growth and by corollary, biodiversity. I believe that water which contains these elements, even if it be contaminated with the right contaminants will aid in biodiversity by enhancing growth. On the other hand, if there is too much salt, for example in the water it will prevent growth and inhibit photosynthesis.
