To determine: The importance of the experiment on transforming principle.
Introduction: Earlier, it was imagined that DNA is too simple to carry and store the information of an organism. The scientists argue among themselves that the proteins are relatively complex than the DNA and consists of 20 different types of amino acids. Hence protein should be necessary for cellular functions
To determine The interpretation of the growth of a few colonies on the plate.
Introduction: Later on, Fred Griffith experiment on the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae for determining the molecule responsible for the transformation of cells, the experiment was also known as the transforming principle. Avery, Macleod and McCarty showed that when the extracted DNA was treated with DNase enzyme, the ability of S cells to transform R cells was lost.
