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.

One option is that the samples run through gel electrophoresis is too small to be recognized (shorter strands of DNA travel further through the gel and larger strands travel shorter). The other option in that the restriction enzyme did not cut the DNA in the proper spot or there was a mutation in the bases that allowed for a mistake in the cutting; that is why there are 800 base pairs in one sample (that's a lot) An example of a mutation is that lets say the restriction enzyme was supposed to cut at the second G in GGACC. But if that G was turned into an A, then the restriction enzyme wouldn't cut there.
For number 5, you might have 800 because of the restriction enzyme cutting it wrong, a mutation that allowed for the cutting to not take place, or a fault in the sample taking.
