In the experiments conducted by Griffith on Streptococcus pneumoniae, it is observed that:
 
1. Mice infected with non-pathogenic strain become resistant to pathogenic stain.
2. Heat-killed pathogenic strain is responsible for making non-pathogenic to pathogenic ones.
3. Non-pathogenic strain when mixed with pathogenic strain, the latter is also converted into non-pathogenic.
4. Mutant strain of bacterium makes the mice mutant also.
