Answer:

The correct answer is: Living IIIS (disease causing) bacteria.

Explanation:

  • According to the question, Griffith injected two strains of bacteria in the mice, which are:
  1. Living IIR strain which are incapable of causing any disease.
  2. Heat killed IIIS strain that can cause a disease.
  • Inside the injected mice,the heat killed IIIS (disease-causing) strain of the bacteria releases a factor that was not affected by heat.
  • This factor was taken up by the living IIR (not disease causing) bacteria. This caused it to get transformed from the non-disease causing IIR strain to the disease causing IIIS strain.
  • After the process of transformation, the disease causing IIIS strain causes pneumonia in the mice and hence kills it.
  • This factor is now known to be the DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid.

Phoenix [80]
The prevalence rate of a disease refers to the number of people in a population that are affected by a particular disease. The only two reasons why the number of this set of people will decrease is if a cure is found for the disease or if those affected are dying.
