He injected mice with samples from S-strain (virulent) and/or R-strain (non-virulent) pneumococci bacteria (Streptococcus pneumonia). Which of the following results is not consistent with Griffith’s experiments?

a. injected R-strain; mouse lives.

b. injected S-strain; mouse dies.

c. injected heat-killed S-strain; mouse lives.

d. injected mixture of heat-killed S-strain and live R-strain; mouse lives.

e. injected mixture of heat-killed R-strain and live S-strain; mouse dies.
