Answer:

Option (b).

Explanation:

The new life form should show the new characteristics that has not been earlier shown by the other life forms. The newly discovered life form should also shows the characteristics that are shown by the living organism.

The putative life form should show different anatomical structure or different way to react towards a stimulus. The bilateral symmetry can not be considered as a new life form because may animals are bilaterally symmetrical and this is not a new characteristic.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

galben [10]

The major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty was 'transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if DNase was added'. This observation supported the idea that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was DNA.

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment showed that DNA was the transforming agent observed in Griffith's experiment.

Griffith's experiment (1928) suggested that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information (DNA) by a process of horizontal gene transfer called transformation.

While the bacteria were killed by heat, Frederick Griffith observed that the DNA had was taken up by II-R strain bacteria via transformation.

Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment observed that protease enzymes did not destroy the transforming agent (but DNAse destroyed this transforming principle), thereby suggesting that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was bacterial DNA.
