Question
### Question: If Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty had determined that the transforming molecule was RNA, what experimental results would have been observed? ### Answer Choices: 1. ○ S cell DNA extracts treated with RNase would lyse the nucleus 2. ○ S cell DNA extracts treated with RNase would not transform the R cells 3. ○ S cell DNA extracts treated with DNase would not transform the R cells 4. ○ S cell DNA extracts would not transform the R cells at all 5. ○ None of the answers are correct This question pertains to the famous experiment by Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty, which identified DNA as the transforming material that could transfer genetic information from one cell to another. The different choices represent potential experimental outcomes if RNA rather than DNA had been determined to be the transforming molecule. Here’s an explanation of what each choice implies: 1. **S cell DNA extracts treated with RNase would lyse the nucleus** - This suggests RNase would somehow affect the nucleus. 2. **S cell DNA extracts treated with RNase would not transform the R cells** - This suggests RNase treatment would hinder transformation if RNA was the transforming molecule. 3. **S cell DNA extracts treated with DNase would not transform the R cells** - This suggests DNase would prevent transformation if DNA was the transforming molecule. 4. **S cell DNA extracts would not transform the R cells at all** - This implies no transformation takes place under any conditions. 5. **None of the answers are correct** - There could be another explanation or unlisted outcome. The correct experimental outcome would be Choice 2: S cell DNA extracts treated with RNase would not transform the R cells, implying RNA is the transforming material.
