Q. Transformation experiment was first performed on which bacteria:-

AIPMTAIPMT 2002Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

Transformation involves transfer of genetic material of one bacterial cell into another bacterial cell by some unknown mechanism and it converts one type of bacterium into another type. This was first studied by Griffith (1928) in Diplococcus pneumoniae and hence is known as Griffith effect.
