#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. Mixing a heat-killed pathogenic strain of bacteria with a living nonpathogenic strain can convert some of the living cells into the pathogenic form.

  2. Mixing a heat-killed nonpathogenic strain of bacteria with a living pathogenic strain makes the pathogenic strain nonpathogenic.

  3. Infecting mice with nonpathogenic strains of bacteria makes them resistant to pathogenic strains.

  4. Mice infected with a pathogenic strain of bacteria can spread the infection to other mice.
