How were dead S-type cells able to transform living R-type cells?

Answer:

Griffith concluded that in the presence of the dead S-type pneumococcus cells, some of the living R-type cells had been transformed into virulent S cells. These cells were able to grow in the bodies of the mice, causing pneumonia and multiplying in the blood. ... The DNA alone caused bacterial transformation.

Griffith introduced heat-killed 'S'- strain bacteria Streptococcus in to a mouse along with live 'R' strain bacteria. ... Some 'transforming principle' transferred from the heat-killed 'S' strain had enabled the 'R' strain to synthesise a smooth polysaccharide coat and become virulent.

In this experiments, Griffith injected mice in the lab with live R-type of bacteria. They did not suffer from the disease. ... He thus concluded that heat-killed smooth type bacterial caused a transformation of the living rough type bacteria. This experiment suggested that DNA and not proteins are the genetic material.

Answer:

Animal life cycles have meiosis followed immediately by gametogenesis. Gametes are produced directly by meiosis. Male gametes are sperm. Female gametes are eggs or ova.

The plant life cycle has mitosis occurring in spores, produced by meiosis, that germinate into the gametophyte phase. Gametophyte size ranges from three cells (in pollen) to several million (in a "lower plant" such as moss). Alternation of

If a widow’s peak (W) is controlled by a dominant allele and a straight hairline (w) is controlled by a recessive allele, how wo
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - a heterozygous individual with widow's peak.

Explanation:

In the given case, the dominant character is the widow's peak that is represented by the allele W and the straight hairline is a recessive character represented by the allele w. So, if an individual has both dominant alleles WW it means this individual has widows peek as W is the dominant allele and if this individual has ww allele it means the straight is expressed as no dominant allele to mask the effect of recessive allele w.

In the case of heterozygous that means one copy of dominant and one copy of recessive allele is present that is Ww then this individual have a widow's peak due to the fact that dominant allele will mask the effect of recessive allele.
