History of Genetics Discovery

The disease-causing bacteria were not found in the lungs of the injected mice.

The heat-killed, S-type bacteria transformed into live, disease-causing bacteria. (correct)

The mice developed pneumonia and died after being injected with harmless bacteria.

The injected mice were completely immune to any form of bacteria.

Mixing two types of bacteria caused an explosion in the laboratory mice.

The mice developed immunity to all forms of bacterial infections.

Information contained in the heat-killed, S-type cells passed onto the living R-type cells. (correct)

A chemical compound transferred from live, harmless bacteria to heat-killed, S-type bacteria.

The chemical compound was transformed into a gene during the experiment.

Harmless bacteria were permanently changed into disease-causing ones. (correct)

The mice were transformed into a different species after being injected.

The live, harmless bacteria transformed into heat-killed, S-type bacteria.
