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:
A cell whose genetic material isn't found in a membrane bound nucleus.
Explanation:
I think they describe a structure of cyclopentane. Cyclopentane is a highly flammable alicyclic hydrocarbon with a chemical formula C₅H₁₀, consisting of a ring of five carbon atoms each bonded to hydrogen atoms above and below the plane. It occurs as a colorless liquid with a petrol-like odor.
Answer: Central Nervous System
-----
The two major subdivisions are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, while the PNS is everything else outside it.
Oncovirus is the virus that is studied
Explanation:
Oncovirus are the tumour causing viruses, which has been a dominant in causing leukaemia and also solid tumours in lower species. Oncovirus grows clumps of cells in the upper layer of the original cell. Transformation of cells as well as the tumour formation in experimental cells are induced by the oncoviruses. viruses remain unique form one another because of their nucleic acid, morphology, mode of replication, host range and type of antigens induced in the tumour or induced cell.
