Recell the experiments done by frederick Griffith, Avery, MacLeod and McCarty, where DNA was speculated to be the genatic material. If RNA , instead of DNA was the genetic meterial, would the heat killed strain of pneumoccus have transformed the R-strain into virulent strani? Explain.

Explanation

RNA is more liavle and prone to degragation (owing to the pressure of 2'OH froup in its ribose ). Hence, heat-killed S-stain may not have retained its ability to transform the R-strain into virulent from it RNA was its genatic meterial.
