The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Griffith's experiments, we need to analyze each option based on the findings from his research on Streptococcus pneumoniae, which involved two strains: the virulent S-strain and the non-virulent R-strain. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Strains**: - The S-strain (smooth strain) is virulent and causes disease in mice. - The R-strain (rough strain) is non-virulent and does not cause disease in mice. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: S-Strain injected into mice results in mice living. - This statement is **incorrect**. When S-strain is injected into mice, they die because the S-strain is virulent. - **Option B**: R-Strain injected into mice results in mice living. - This statement is **correct**. The R-strain is non-virulent, so the mice survive. - **Option C**: Heat-killed S-Strain injected into mice results in mice living. - This statement is **correct**. The heat-killed S-strain does not cause disease, so the mice survive. - **Option D**: Heat-killed S-Strain + R-Strain injected into mice results in mice dying. - This statement is **correct**. The combination of heat-killed S-strain and live R-strain leads to the transformation of the R-strain into a virulent form, causing the mice to die. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only incorrect statement according to Griffith's experiments is **Option A**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement according to Griffith's experiments is **Option A**: S-Strain injected into mice results in mice living.
