Griffith co-injected the heat-killed S and live R strains of Pneumococcus bacterium into the mice and much to his surprise the mice developed pneumonia and died. He concluded that:

I: Live R was transformed into Live S strain as he was able to isolate Live S strain from the blood of the infected mice.
II: Bacterial transformation is a stable and heritable change as the culture of bacteria isolated from dead mice was unable to infect other mice.
 
1. Both I and II are correct
2. Only I is correct
3. Only II is correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
