Bacteria are capable of undergoing gene transfers.

Adrien Dudley · Answer 2

Your answer would be C.

In 1928 Frederic Griffth's experiment showed that bacteria were capable of transferring genetic information through a process called transformation. He mixed the r-form which did not kill with the S-form that killed its host. the s-form transformed the r-form to the more lethal s-form.
