The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Griffith's experiments, we need to analyze the outcomes of the different strains of bacteria injected into mice. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Strains**: - Griffith worked with two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae: - **S-Strain** (smooth) which is virulent and causes disease. - **R-Strain** (rough) which is non-virulent and does not cause disease. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(A)** S-Strain injected into mice results in mice dying. - This is **correct**. The S-Strain is virulent. - **(B)** R-Strain injected into mice results in mice living. - This is **correct**. The R-Strain is non-virulent. - **(C)** Heat-killed S-Strain injected into mice results in mice living. - This is **correct**. Heat-killed S-Strain does not cause disease as the bacteria are dead. - **(D)** Heat-killed S-Strain + R-Strain injected into mice results in mice dying. - This is **incorrect**. In Griffith's experiment, when heat-killed S-Strain was mixed with live R-Strain and injected into mice, the mice died because the R-Strain transformed into a virulent form by taking up the genetic material from the dead S-Strain. 3. **Conclusion**: - The **incorrect** statement according to Griffith's experiments is **(D)** Heat-killed S-Strain + R-Strain injected into mice results in mice dying. ### Final Answer: The incorrect option according to Griffith's experiments is **(D)** Heat killed S-Strain + R-Strain injected into mice results in mice die.

    In a series of experiments with Streptococcus and mice F. Griffith concluded that R-strain bacteria had been transformed. Explain.

    What happed when heat killed S cells along with live R cells were injected into mice ?

    Assertion (A): In Griffith's experiment, the dead R strain bacteria was capable of causing the transformation of the live S-strain bacteria. Reason(R): The S-strain is non-virulent strain.

    Assertion : In Griffith's experiment, a mixture of heat-killed virulent bacteria R and live non - virulent bacteria S, lead to the death of mice. Reason : 'Transforming principle' got transferred from heat -killed R strain and made it virulent.
