Predict what would happen if Griffith had mixed some heat-killed type IIIS (virulent) bacteria and some heat-killed type IIR (non-virulent) bacteria and injected these into a mouse.
A. The mouse would have contracted pneumonia and died because the type IIIS would have been transformed by the type IIR bacteria.
B. The mouse would have contracted pneumonia and died because the type IIR would have been transformed by the type IIIS bacteria.
C. The mouse would have lived because the type IIIS bacteria are not pathogenic.
D. The mouse would have lived because the type IIR bacteria are not pathogenic.
E. The mouse would have lived because only living bacteria can be transformed.
