Answer:

c. The harmless bacteria had been transformed.  

Explanation:

Fredrick Griffith carried out the first experiment that showed bacteria can get DNA by transformation in 1928.

He used two different strains of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae a)type-III-S or smooth strain-Covered by a protective polysaccharide capsule hence lethal

b) type II-R or rough strain-Lacked the polysaccharide hence non-lethal

In his experiment he observed heat killed Type-III-S strain was not able to kill the mice. However, when its remains was added with rough strain then the blend was able to kill the mice.

When he collected blood  from the dead mice it had live strains of both smooth and rough type.

He came to a conclusion that non-lethal type II-R strain was transformed into lethal type II-S strain by a "transforming principle"  that was supposed to be the part of dead III-S strain bacteria.

When is speciation complete?
anygoal [31]

Answer: A. When the two populations can no longer interbreed

Explanation:

Speciation is a process in which the members of the same population of a species get separated due to geographical, physical, behavioral, and temporal barriers. The separated members develop new traits and becomes a new species.

Among the given options,  A. When the two populations can no longer interbreed is the correct option because if the members of the same population will longer interbreed they may experience reproductive isolation from the separated members and with the coarse of evolution they will develop traits which will be responsible for the development of new species. Hence, speciation will complete.

A snail was observed to have moved a distance of 0.5 meters in 2 hours. What rate of movement was observed in this experiment
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.25 m/ hour

Explanation:

A rate of movement is essentially a speed measurement, where you divide the distance crossed from point A to point B by the time it took to do it.

So, we know the snail moved a total distance of 0.5 meters... that's our distance crossed.

We know that took 2 hours...  so we just have to calculate that:

0.5 meters / 2 hours  = 0.25 m/hour
