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.

Which organ contain lots of vessicle ​
aksik [14]
The Golgi apparatus gathers simple molecules and combines them to make molecules that are more complex. It then takes those big molecules, packages them in vesicles, and either stores them for later use or sends them out of the cell. It is also the organelle that builds lysosomes (cell digestion machines).

Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation: question 11 options: are the best way to preserve an area's
hoa [83]
<span>Conservation strategies that set aside ecosystems for preservation </span>are the best way to preserve an area's diversity.
The World Wildlife Fund says that the conservation strategies that focus on ecosystems for preservation have an impact on preserving and area's diversity because it is a complete, healthy ecosystem, filled with all that is part of it, that will maintain the diversity of its area - for example, if a species of a tree from a certain ecosystem was to be extinct, not only that species would disappear, reducing already by itself the diversity of the area, but it would also affect other species taking them probably also to eventual extinction, once more reducing the diversity of the area.
