The major contribution made by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty was 'transformation of nonvirulent cells with a DNA extract was blocked only if DNase was added'. This observation supported the idea that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was DNA.

The Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment showed that DNA was the transforming agent observed in Griffith's experiment.

Griffith's experiment (1928) suggested that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information (DNA) by a process of horizontal gene transfer called transformation.

While the bacteria were killed by heat, Frederick Griffith observed that the DNA had was taken up by II-R strain bacteria via transformation.

Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment observed that protease enzymes did not destroy the transforming agent (but DNAse destroyed this transforming principle), thereby suggesting that the transforming agent in Griffith's experiment was bacterial DNA.

Fill in the blanks to complete the passage. Geologists can use ________ waves to learn about Earth’s interior. P waves travel fa
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Seismic waves,    Outer,    Mantle

Explanation:

P-waves vibrate longitudinally to the direction of propagation while S-waves vibrate vertically to direction of propagation. This is why S-waves are called shear waves while P-waves are compressional waves. S-waves are the main cause of destruction in an earthquake and are slower than P-waves.

The wave movement of P-waves allows them to pass through liquids and gases while S-waves cannot. Due to this differential phenomenon of these waves, the reflection of P –waves and S-waves after an earthquake – and as their vibrations are picked up by seismographs around the earth - enabled scientists to determine the properties of the  layers of the earth’’s interior.

Describe how the ecosystem changed from figure 1 to figure 4.<br> no links, please. <br> thank you
AysviL [449]

Answer:

In the ecosystem, the tides of the water rise in each figure. In figure 4, there is an increase in land animals present, and a lower amount of aquatic animals present. In the first figure, there are no birds, however there are multiple in the rest of the figures, this is possibly due to migration in the winter or that the ecosystem has drawn birds near. The types of plants change throughout each figure which is most likely to new adaptations such as more water available. The tides most likely rose because of more precipitation.

Explanation:

I hope this helped.
