Which of the following is incorrect according to Griffith experiments ? (A) S-Strain to Inject into mice to mice live (B) R-Strain to Inject into mice to mice live (C ) Heat-killed S-Strain to Inject into mice to mice live (D) Heat killed S-Strain + R-Strain to Inject into mice to mice die

Assertion: Rotenone is a bioinsecticide. Reason: Rotenone is obtained from living organisms and is employed to kill bacteria.

Recall the experiment done by Frederick Griffith. If RNA, instead of DNA was the genetic material, would the heat killed strain of strep have transformed the R-strain into virulent strain? Explain your answer.

In an experiment done by Griffith, it was found that when virulent capsulated smooth 'S' bacteria were injected into healthy mice, the mice dies of pneumonia. When mice were injected with non virulent 'R' forms of same bacteria, they survived and did not die to pneumonia. In another case when S-forms were killed by heating at above 60 and injected, rats did not get pneumonia, but when killed, s-forms and R-forms of bacteria were mixed and injected, the rats suffered from pneumonia and died. which one of the following conclusions can be drawn from the above experiment?

Griffth performed an experiment where mice were killed when injected with a mixture of heat killed S-strain and live R-strain of Streptococcus, but mice were alive when these strains were injected separately. Mice were killed because
