Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is - a, d, e, h, i.

Explanation:

Frederick Griffith performed an experiment of 1928 known as Griffith's experiment and showed that bacteria can get genetic material through a process called transformation.

The following statements are true:

Griffith found out transformation in bacteria.

Bacteria that are naked or smooth tend to be harmless.

Enzymes treated bacteria that destroyed DNA would prevent transformation.

Transformation allows bacteria to acquire new genes.

Naked or smooth bacteria can make them self encapsulated only after exposure to the DNA of encapsulated bacteria.
