Question

Based on the enzyme treatment results, what was the interpretation of the RNase treatment outcome?

Options

• RNA amplifies genetic information from DNA

• RNA is NOT the genetic material

• RNA is partially responsible for genetic information

• RNA is the genetic material

Answer 1

Since transformation still occurred after RNase destroyed all RNA, the logical interpretation was that RNA is NOT the genetic material. The transforming principle was not dependent on RNA structure or presence, eliminating RNA as the hereditary material responsible for bacterial transformation in this context.
