Want to know:
Frederick Griffith was one of the leading scientists looking at the genetic role of DNA. He was working on two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae: The rough strain (R) did not cause pneumonia, but the smooth strain (S) did. When Griffith heat-killed the S strain and gave both the heat-killed S strain and the R strain to mice, the mice developed pneumonia and died. What happened in this experiment that caused the mice to develop pneumonia?The R strain mutated and thus was able to cause pneumonia.There was more of the R strain added than previously.The immune systems of the mice were unable to cope with both the S and R strains simultaneously.Even though the S strain had been heat-killed, it changed the R strain.
