Which new phenomenon did Griffith focus on during his work with pneumonia-causing bacteria and mice?

transfer of genetic material through transformation


Explain how the bacteria in griffith's experiment were transformed?

The harmless living bacteria took in pneumonia-causing DNA(genes) from the heat-killed, pneumonia-causing bacteria, as a result of which the harmless bacteria changed into bacteria that cause pneumonia.


What result from griffith's experiments suggested that the cause of pneumonia was not a chemical poison released by the disease-causing bacteria?

The difference between "walking pneumonia" and "true pneumonia".


What happened when Griffith injected mice with a mixture of heat-killed pneumonia-causing bacteria and live bacteria of the harmless type?

that it was very gay


What is griffith trying to accomplish by injecting mice with pneumonia causing bacteria?

Griffith was trying to show the transformation of DNA in his experiment where DNA was transfered enabling the viable cell of bacteria to non- viable.


What result from Griffith experiment suggested that the cause of pneumonia was not a chemical poison released by the diseases causing bacteria?

The difference between "walking pneumonia" and "true pneumonia".


Why do you think heating the lethal pneumonia bacteria in Griffith's experiment killed them?

Heat denatures the lethal pneumonia bacteria's proteins or enzymes causing them to become ineffective. Therefore, without the bacteria's proteins or enzymes functioning correctly, the lethal pneumonia bacteria die.

What result from griffith's experiment suggested that the cause of pneumonia was not a chemical poison release by the disease-causing bacteria?

To find out, he took a culture of these cells, heated the bacteria to kill them, and injected the heat-killed bacteria into the mice.


What did Griffth observe when he injected a mixture of heat killed disease causing bacteria and live harmless bacteria into mice?

Griffith discovered that the mice still died, indicating that the harmless bacteria had been transformed into disease-causing bacteria by a hereditary factor from the heat-killed bacteria. This experiment laid the foundation for the discovery of bacterial transformation by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty.


What is a bacteria causing disease in the lungs?

Bacterial pneumonia would be one.


What term describe a concept discovered by scientist Frederick griffith?

The term that describes the concept discovered by scientist Frederick Griffith is "transformation." Griffith's experiments with pneumonia-causing bacteria in mice led to the discovery that genetic material can be transferred between different bacterial strains, causing one strain to inherit traits from the other. This laid the groundwork for understanding the process of genetic transformation.
