Following representations P, Q and R denote few steps of Griffith Experiment. Identify the correct one(s)
P. R strain → Inject into mice → Mice die
Q. S strain (Heat killed) → Injected into mice → Mice die
R R strain → Inject into mice → Mice live
- A P only
- B R only
- C P and R
- D Q and R
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) R only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) R only,
R strain of streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria does not contain virulent polysaccharide coat hence, when R strain is injected into mice, mice live.
