• Avery

• Hershey & Chase

• Watson & Crick

• Griffith

The scientist(s) who discovered dominant and recessive traits

• Mendel
• Avery
• Griffith
• Watson & Crick

This scientist(s) conducted experiments that involved injecting mice with S bacteria and R bacteria.

• Avery
• Griffith
• Watson & Crick
• Hershey & Chase

The first scientist to perform multiple tests on the transforming principle, to determine if it was DNA or protein

• Griffith
• Chargraff
• Avery
• Hershey

Avery added an enzyme known to break down proteins (proteases) to his extract, and saw that the bacteria were ____________________

• still transformed

• not transformed

• all killed

• all sick

Avery added an enzyme known to break down DNA to his extract, and saw that the bacteria were __________________

• still transformed 
• not transformed
• all sick
• all killed

From his work with mice and pneumonia-causing bacteria, Frederick Griffin coined the term
