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

The unequivocal proof that DNA is the genetic material was provided by:
| 1. | Avery, Macleod, and McCarty |

Hershey and Chase proved DNA as the genetic material in their experiment because :
| 1. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive proteins were not radioactive. |
| 2. | Bacteria that were infected with viruses that had radioactive DNA were radioactive. |
| 3. | Both 1 and 2 are correct. |
| 4. | Both 1 and 2 are incorrect. |

A molecule that can act as a genetic material must fulfil all the following criteria except:
| 1. | It should be able to generate its replica |
| 2. | It should chemically and structurally be stable |
| 3. | It should provide scope for rapid mutations |
| 4. | It should be able to express itself in the form of “Mendelian Characters” |

Heat-killed S form Streptococcus extract treated with proteases is mixed with live R form Streptococcus cells and injected into living mice. What is most likely to happen?
| 1. | The mice would live. |
| 2. | The mice would die. |
| 3. | The mice's blood would have dead R cells. |
| 4. | A new strain of Streptococcus will be present in mice. |

Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty used DNase in their experiment because:
| 1. | It enabled them to isolate pure DNA samples. |
| 2. | It enabled them to isolate pure protein samples. |
| 3. | This allowed them to demonstrate that removing the DNA prevents transformation. |
| 4. | It made sure that RNA will always be present when they attempted to transform the R strain. |
