2. Lactose binds to the promoter site to initiate transcription.
3. Lactose binds to the repressor protein to inhibit transcription.
4. The repressor protein binds the operator site to inhibit transcription.

Why is a capsule advantageous to a bacterium?
| 1. | It protects the bacterium from desiccation |
| 2. | It provides means of locomotion |
| 3. | It allows the bacterium to "hide" from the host's immune system. |

Regarding the conclusions that can be from the Griffith experiment:
I: R strain bacteria was somehow been transformed by the heat-killed S strain bacteria.
II: Some ‘transforming principle’, transferred from the heat-killed S strain, enabled the R strain to synthesise a smooth polysaccharide coat and become virulent.
III: The biochemical nature of genetic material was DNA.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
