Griffith's experiments with S. pneumoniae were significant because they showed that traits could be transferred from one organism to another. What else did he find that was significant?

The correct answer will be - the traits can be heritable as the transferred material is heritable

Explanation:

Griffith experiment was performed on the S. pneumoniae bacteria which showed that some transforming material transformed the avirulent bacteria into virulent bacteria.

This indicated that traits controlled by the transforming material can be transferred from one organism to another organism. The researcher also concluded that the transforming material not just transformed the individual but the whole population as the trait was passed on to the generation.

Thus, the traits can be heritable as the transferred material is heritable is the correct answer.
