Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given :
The process of transformation is not affected by which of the following enzymes?
A. DNase, B. RNase, C. Peptidase, D. Lipase

• A. A, B
• B. A, B, C, D
• C. B, C, D
• D. A, B, C

Answer 1

The correct option is C B, C, D

Transformation is a phenomenon by which DNA isolated from one type of cell when introduced into and her type is-able to give some of its properties to the latter. In 1944, Avery, McCarty and MacLeod discovered that protein.

Digesting enzymes (proteases) and RNA-digesting enzymes (RNases) did not affect transformation, so the- transforming substance was not a protein or RNA.

Digestion with DNase did inhibit transformation, suggesting that the DNA caused the transformation.

So, the correct answer is 'B,C,D'.
