Algae: any of numerous groups of chlorophyll-containing, mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms ranging from microscopic single-celled forms to multicellular forms 100 feet (30 meters) or more long, distinguished from plants by the absence of true roots, stems, and leaves and by a lack of nonreproductive cells in the reproductive structures: classified into the six phyla Euglenophyta, Crysophyta, Pyrrophyta, Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta.
Amboeda: any of a large genus (Amoeba) of naked rhizopod protozoans with lobed and never anastomosing pseudopodia, without permanent organelles or supporting structures, and of wide distribution in fresh and salt water and moist terrestrial environments
Asexual reproduction: reproduction (as cell division, spore formation, fission, or budding) without union of individuals or gametes
Cilia: minute short hairlike process often forming part of a fringe
Diatom: any of a class (Bacillariophyceae) of minute planktonic unicellular or colonial algae with silicified skeletons that form diatomaceous earth

Answer:
The correct answer would be the harmless bacteria had been transformed.
Griffith used two different strains of the bacteria <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae - </em>type-III-S or smooth strain and type II-R or rough strain.
Smooth strain had protective covering around itself (protect itself from hosts's immune system) and was able to kill the mice.
Rough strain did not have any protective covering around itself and thus could be easily removed by the immune system Hence, it was not able to kill the mice.
In addition, heat killed smooth strain was also not able to kill the mice. However, when remains of it was added with rough strain then the blend was able to kill the mice.
Lastly, he was able to isolate living bacteria of both the strains.
He concluded that non-lethal type II-R strain was transformed into lethal type II-S strain by "transforming principle" (which we know today as DNA) that was supposed to be the part of dead III-S strain bacteria.
An autotroph is an organism that can build its own food
