Answer:
To learn more about Griffith's experiment, scientists extracted a mixture of various molecules from the heat-killed bacteria. They found that transformation no longer occurred when they treated the mixture with enzymes that destroyed DNA/RNA. This experiment supports the hypothesis that DNA/RNA is the genetic material.
Explanation:
Frederick Griffith, a bacteriologist, performed a series of experiments using Streptococcus pneumoniae and mice as a model for his study because he wanted to develop a vaccine against pneumonia. In his experiments, he used R strain bacteria (non-virulent) and S strain bacteria (virulent).
Griffith observed that, when combining the two strains, not only the virulent bacteria killed the mice but the non-virulent bacteria did as well. So, he stated that there was a "transforming principle" that converted non-virulent bacteria into virulent.
Then, Avery and colleagues observed that using enzymes that degrade the DNA remove the transforming activity. However, they didn't believe it was DNA that caused this, but proteins.
Later on, Hershey and Chase discovered that this "transforming principle" was DNA / RNA and was the genetic material that transferred this 'virulence', not proteins as they had concluded before.
The study of genes and inheritance is called genetics.
The correct answer is DNA/RNA.
The Griffith experiment is stated that the genetic material transform from the other genetic material in which he shows in his experiment of mice.
According to the question, there will be no trace of transformation when we treated the mixture from the DNA/RNA enzyme because it digested the genetic material and can not be transformed.
According to this conclusion, we can say that the DNA/RNA is a genetic material that transforms the other mice.
Hence, the correct answer is DNA/RNA.
