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.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

4 percent (4%)

Explanation:

A single crossover occurs between two (non-sister) chromatids belonging to homologous chromosomes. In this case, 16 percent of the meioses have a single crossover, thereby it will produce 8 percent of the chromosomes with the original (parental) combination in the progeny and the remaining 8 percent should be recombinants. From this result, it is reasonable to conclude that half of these recombinants should be 'Br' (and the other remaining 4 percent should be recombinants 'bR'), and therefore the answer is 4 percent (4%).
