Griffith’s transformation experiment in Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated that:
1. Heat-killed virulent bacteria failed to produce disease in mice
2. Live non-virulent bacteria failed to produce disease in mice
3. Heat-killed virulent bacteria transformed non-virulent bacteria into virulent form
4. Live virulent bacteria alone produced fatal infection in mice
