a.

Summary Introduction

To predict:

The possible outcome of Griffith’s experiment using the heat-killed pathogenic and heat killed nonpathogenic bacteria.

Introduction:

The transformation of the genetic material in bacteria was experimentally found out by the person named F. G. He was trying to make the vaccine that could cure pneumonia, which is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumonia. There exist two different strains of this bacterium. One of the forms of the bacteria is known as the S (smooth) form. This strain of the bacteria is virulent and forms smooth colonies in the culture. The other form is the mutant form or the R (rough) form. This strain was non-virulent and forms a rough colony in the culture.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The possible outcome of Griffith’s experiment using the heat-killed pathogenic and live nonpathogenic in the presence of an enzyme that digests proteins (protease).

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The possible outcome of Griffith’s experiment using the heat-killed pathogenic and live nonpathogenic in the presence of an enzyme that digests DNA (endonuclease).

Answer each of the following questions correctly.(2-5 sentences only) A. How cloning and expression of certain genes allows for massive production of the desired product.(Give   an specific example) For example: the cloning and expression of insulin in bacteria allows for the mass production of this necessary protein for use by diabetic patients. B. How PCR may be used for the detection of disease–causing pathogens in a population during COVID Pandemic. For example: It may be used to check if a patient has a COVID virus infection.
The ability of cells suspended in soft (semi-solid) agar medium to form colonies is a good predictor of which of the following? (select all that apply)? A. The cells have lost contact inhibition B. These cells will form tumors if injected subcutaneously into immunocompromised mice. C. These cells have stopped proliferating and will die. D. These cells have an increased requirement for growth factors. E. These cells would fail to grow in normal medium.
In the Avery, McLeod, McCarty Experiment where supernatant from heat killed, virulent S Strain pneumonia solutions were added to non-virulent R Strain pneumonia cell cultures and allowed to grow in liquid media (i.e., broth). In tubes where Protease was added to the supernatant prior to cell culture, what was the observed effect when plating and growing the S. pneumonia cells to solid media? Selected answer will be automatically saved. For keyboard navigation, press up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a b C d e All RNA was degraded and Transformation of the R Strain to S Strain occurred. All Protein was degraded and Transformation of the R Strain to S Strain occurred. All DNA was degraded and Transformation of the R Strain to S Strain occurred. All RNA was degraded and no Transformation occurred indicating RNA is the molecule of Transformation inheritance None of the above are true
