Question

The answer is already given. So can someone explain to me how they concluded the answers in the red box? How did they know to mark yes or no under mouse dies and live s strain recovered?

Recall that when heat-inactivated S strain and live R strain of S. pneumonia are injected into a mouse, the R strain is transformed into the pathogenic S strain, and the mouse dies. Based the knowledge that DNA is the carrier of hereditary information, predict whether the mouse dies (Yes or No) and whether live S strain is recovered from the mouse (Yes or No) in each of the following experiments. Explain in a sentence or two how you came to th conclusion 4. Heat-inactivatedS R strain added? strain added? Live S strairn recovered Molecule destroyed RNA Lipid DNA Protein Mouse dies?

Explanation / Answer

yes, all the yes and no mentioned are in correct order.

the only reason the mouse is not dead in case of DNA is because DNA is destroyed due to which no transformation occurs and there is no change of information b/w R strain and S strain.
