Answer:

In 1928, Fred Griffith performed an experiment revealing that genetic material can be passed between two different stains of the bacteria.

Explanation:

In 1928, Frederick Griffith, a British bacteriologist conducted some experiments to develop a pneumonia vaccine. He used mice and two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, known as R and S in his experiments.

The live R strain bacteria had a rough appearance and were nonvirulent. When he injected R bacteria into mice, they did not cause pneumonia. The live S strain bacteria had a smooth appearance due to their polysaccharide coating and were virulent. When injected into mice, the mice died as a result of pneumonia. The polysaccharide coating protected the S bacteria from the immune system of the mice.

Griffith then injected mice with heat-killed S bacteria (the heat killed the bacterial cells) and they did not cause pneumonia in mice. But when he injected a combination of non-lethal R bacteria and non-lethal heat-killed S bacteria into mice, the mice died from pneumonia. When he examined the blood sample from the dead mice, he found that the blood sample contained live S bacteria. This finding leads him to the conclusion that the nonvirulent R-strain bacteria had been "transformed" into virulent and lethal S-strain bacteria by taking up a "transforming principle" from the heat-killed S bacteria.

This experiment was then used for additional experiments conducted by Avery, McCarty, McLeod and then by Hershey and Chase. They found the evidence that the transforming principle from Griffith's experiment was actually the hereditary material, DNA. The DNA of the S strain bacteria had survived the heating process. This DNA that contains the genes for the production of the protective polysaccharide coating was taken up by the R strain bacteria. The transformed R strain bacteria were now protected from their host's immune system and this process of transferring genetic information between different bacterial strains is known as transformation.

The correct answer is this: ZEITOUN SPOT FISH SWIMMING IN THE FLOOD WATER.
The passage given above was drawn from an account of Hurricane Katrina by Dave Eggers. In the passage, he described the hurricane experience as an apolycapses, thus likening the event to the great destruction that will befall the earth at the end of the world as recorded in the bible in the book of Revelation. The hurricane was so bad that those animals that can not fly were carried away in the flood, even the fish inside the water were affected.

-Even though there are many different types of cells, they all share similar characteristics. All cells have a cell membrane, organelles organelles, cytoplasm, and DNA.  All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane, all cells contain organelles, all cells contain cytoplasm and all cells contain DNA.

-Cells may differ in their number such that some organisms are made of only a single cell while other organisms are made of billions of cells
