A student grew virus in three different media containing P32, S35 and DNAase separately and allow this virus to attack to E. coli. The series of observation made by the students are as follows:

a) P32 labelled phage particles were produced in E. coli.
b) S35 containing phage particles were produced E. coli.
c) Phage particles were observed in E. coli.

d) P32 was not observed in phage particles produced by E. coli.
e) S35 was not observed in phage particles produced by E. coli.

The correct observations are

MEDIUM

A bacterial strain S was heat killed. Another strain R (living) was taken and mixed with this S strain. This mixture of S+R strains were injected into mice. Which of the following are observed by Griffith?

I. The cells of S strain were dead in dead mice.

II. The bacterial cells without polysaccharide coat are transformed into virulent strain in the injected mice.

II. Griffith could not find living S strain in the body of dead mice.

IV. Griffith could find living S strain in the body of dead mice.
