Such a case is the work of Frederick Griffith, an English physician whose attempts to

2、prevent the disease pneumonia led to the identification of the material in cells that contains genetic information the information that determines an organisms characteristic structure. In the 1920s, Griffith was studying the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, one of the organisms

3、that cause pneumonia in humans.He was trying to develop a vaccine against this devastating illness. Hewas working with two strains of the bacteria pneumococcus. Abacterial strain is a population of cells descended from a single parent cell; strains differ in one or more inherited characteristics. Gr

4、iffiths strains were designated S and R because, when grown in the laboratory, one produced shiny, smooth (S) colonies or groups of bacteria, and the other produced colonies that look rough .Thewordapparentlyinthepassageisclosestinmeaning.According to paragraph 1, Griffith experimented with strains

Thes

9、e heat-killed bacteria did not produce infection. Griffith assumed the mice would produce antibodies to the bacteria that would allowthemto fight the virulent form if they were exposed to it. However, when Griffith inoculated other mice with a mixture of living R bacteria and heat-killed S bacteria,

10、 to his astonishment, the mice became ill with pneumonia（加热的S 被杀死应不能致病，R 也不果两者混合却导致了致病）. When he examined blood fromthese mice, he founditfullofliving bacteria manywith characteristics of the virulent S strain. Griffith concluded that, in the presence of the dead S pneumococci, some of the living R

11、pneumococci had been transformed into virulent S-strain organisms.Thewordastonishmentinthepassageisclosestinmeaning.According to paragraph 3, why did Griffith conclude from his experiment injecting both R and S strains pneumococci into mice that some of the R strain bacteria transformed into disease

12、-causing S strain pneumococciAllthelivingbacteriahefoundinthebloodoftheinjectedmicewereSstrainHe already knew from earlier experiments that R strain pneumococci sometimes transform into S strain pneumococci.He could tell from examining the bacteria under a microscope that some individual pneumococci

13、 cells had characteristics of both the S and R strains.He observed living cells in the mices blood with S strain characteristics, but the only living cells injected were R strain pneumococci. Paragraph 4：Did this transformation of the bacteria depend on something the mouse did to the bacteria？No. It

14、 was shown that simply putting living R and heat-killed S bacteria together in a test tube yielded the same transformation. Next it was discovered that a cell-free extract of heat-killed S cells also transformed R cells. (A cell-free extract contains all the contents of cells, but no intact cells.)

15、This result demonstrated that some substance called at the time a transforming principle from the extract of S pneumococci could cause a heritable change (a change that could be passed on to future generations) in the affected R cells. From these observations, some scientists concluded that this tra

19、R pneumococci strain cells acquired the ability to transform themselves into S pneumococci.The transformation of R cells by a cell-free extract of S pneumococci demonstrated the existence of a chemical transforming principle that brought about heritable change.This transformation showed that the cha
