Answer:

The three experiments are:

  • Griffith experiment

Griffith performed an experiment by which he observed that harmless R strain of the bacteria transformed into harmful S strain when mixed with heat-killed S strain.

He concluded that the "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S strain bacteria transformed the R strain.

  • Avery, McCarty, and MacLeod- Identification of transforming principle

They identified that the nature of the transforming principle mentioned by Griffith.

They used digestive enzymes such as proteases, RNase, and DNase.

They conclude that the transforming principle was DNA in nature.

  • The Hershey-Chase experiment

They used radioactive sulfur to label proteins and radioactive phosphorus to label DNA in the bacteriophage.

The infected bacteria were blended and centrifuged.  

The radioactive phosphorus, that is, DNA was found inside the cell whereas the radioactive sulfur, that is, proteins were found outside the cell.

It also proved that the genetic material was DNA, not protein or RNA.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. 1, 2, and 4

Explanation:

Option no 1 is true because before maturity, the mosquitoes will not be able to cause malaria and will be easier to kill.

Option no 2 is true because in order to ensure a safe control, the Brachiola gambiae shouldn't be dangerous to other animals or insects.

Option No 3 is not true because Mosquito larvae will contain the male larvae also. As the male larvae are not harmful, hence their growth shouldn't be stopped or they should not be killed.

Option No 4 is correct because before applying any controlling measures for a problem, it should always be kept in mind that it should not have negative effects on other food systems.

Answer No 5 is false because as the females Anopheles are harmful, they should be killed. The male Anopheles are not harmful hence, they should not be killed.
