Frederick Griffith wаs the first reseаrcher tо demоnstrаte that heat-killed pathоgenic bacterial cells can transform non-pathogenic bacterial cells into pathogenic cells, though he did not demonstrate which molecule (DNA, RNA or protein) was responsible for this transformation. Avery, MacLeod and McCarty performed an experiment to determine the transforming factor in Griffith's experiment (protein, DNA or RNA). In this experiment, they treated filtrate from pathogenic S-cells with DNAse, RNAse and protease and exposed non-pathogenic R-cells to each of the filtrates. For each treatment, state whether the treatment led to the transformation of R-cells into S-cells and indicate whether the given conclusion for that treatment is true or false. Treatment Did treatment lead to transformation (yes or no)? Conclusion (fill in true or false) RNase The transforming factor was RNA. DNase The transforming factor was DNA. Protease The transforming factor was protein.
