- 1. Multiple Choice
Griffith investigated R and S strains with mice. What did he conclude about the S strain and the R strain in the trial with heat-killed S strain and living R strain?
The mouse lived as the R strain provided protection from the nonliving S strain.
The mouse died as the R strain did not provide protection from the nonliving S strain.
The mouse lived as the R strain was not affected by a transforming agent released from the nonliving S strain.
The mouse died as the R strain was affected by a transforming agent released from the nonliving S strain

- 5. Multiple Choice
Based on the conservative model, what are the predicted results from two rounds of replications in the Meselson-Stahl experiment where the initial strands are 15N and the new strands are 14N?
The first round involves a hybrid (14N-15N) band, the second round involves a light (14N) band and a hybrid (14N-15N) band
The first round involves a hybrid (14N-15N) band, the second round involves a hybrid (14N-15N) band
The first round involves a heavy (15N) band and a light (14N) band, the second round involves a hybrid (14N-15N) band.
The first round involves a heavy (15N) band and a light (14N) band, the second round involves a heavy (15N) band and a light (14N).
