“Transforming Principle” was given by:
Updated On: Nov 6, 2024
- Maclyn McCarty
- Frederick Griffith
- Alfred Hershey
- Watson and Crick
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Frederick Griffith discovered the 'Transforming Principle' in 1928 through his experiments with Streptococcus pneumoniae. He observed that non-virulent strains could be transformed into virulent strains when exposed to heat-killed virulent cells, indicating the presence of a transferable genetic material.

Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition reactions due to steric and electronic reasons. Sterically, the presence of two large groups in ketones hinders the attack of nucleophile to carbonyl carbon than in aldehydes. Electronically, aldehydes are more reactive than ketones because two alkyl groups reduce the electrophilicity of the carbonyl carbon more effectively than in the former- CUET (UG) - 2024

The transition metals are very hard and have low volatility. Their melting and boiling points are high. In any row, the melting points of these metals rise to a maximum at d5 and fall regularly as atomic number increases. The high melting points of these metals are attributed to the involvement of greater number of electrons from (n– 1)d in addition to ns electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.- CUET (UG) - 2024
