Griffith's experiment discovered bacterial transformation which in his experiment means:

1. A mutation in the R strain made them virulent.
2. A mutation in the S strain made them non-virulent.
3. A rough strain passed genetic information to a smooth strain.
4. A smooth strain passed genetic information to a rough strain.

All the following will not be applicable to DNA replication in prokaryotes except:
1. It begins at several places along the chromosome.
2. It begins at the origin and travels in both directions.
3. It begins at the origin and travels around the chromosome back to the origin.

Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty used DNase in their experiment because:

1. It enabled them to isolate pure DNA samples.
2. It enabled them to isolate pure protein samples.
3. This allowed them to demonstrate that removing the DNA prevents transformation.
4. It made sure that RNA will always be present when they attempted to transform the R strain.
