Identify the correct statements:
| I: | DNA acts as the genetic material in most organisms. |
| II: | RNA though it also acts as a genetic material in some viruses, mostly functions as a messenger. |
| III: | RNA functions as an adapter, structural, and in some cases as a catalytic molecule. |

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
