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.

Name two ways that water can enter the atmosphere.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:ways Water enters the atmosphere evaporation, transpiration, excretion and sublimation:

Explanation:

Transpiration is the loss of water from plants (via their leaves).

Sublimation is when ice or snow transforms directly into water vapour without going through a liquid phase (i.e. they do not melt).

Animals excrete water by respiration and by passing urine.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.

kirill [66]

The survival of the species is ensured by C. by protecting the fertilized eggs from predators. The protection provided by the male increases the hatch rate of the eggs, which means more young seahorses. The greater the number of hatchlings, the greater the likelihood that some will survive to adulthood and carry on the survival of the species.
