Answer:
D)They both contain carbon, but only nucleic acids contain phosphorous.
The answer is :they passed on their genetic material to new cells when they reproduced.
Explanation : Well when cells undergo division , they pass on their genetic material , so that's the same way that bacteria passed and still passes it's genetic material by the process of rep
roduction.
Hope this helps :)
I believe it’s the first option
Griffith's experiment worked with two types of pneumococcal bacteria (a rough type and a smooth type) and identified that a "transforming principle" could transform them from one type to another.
At first, bacteriologists suspected the transforming factor was a protein. The "transforming principle" could be precipitated with alcohol, which showed that it was not a carbohydrate. But Avery and McCarty observed that proteases (enzymes that degrade proteins) did not destroy the transforming principle. Neither did lipases (enzymes that digest lipids). Later they found that the transforming substance was made of nucleic acids but ribonuclease (which digests RNA) did not inactivate the substance. By this method, they were able to obtain small amounts of highly purified transforming principle, which they could then analyze through other tests to determine its identity, which corresponded to DNA.
Answer:
It's in their makeup to interact
Explanation
They need to interact to survive, to exist, to reproduce!
