I’m trying to figure out which is the best answer to the question below.

How did the experiment with the smooth and rough bacteria help us understand the basis of inherited information.

It demonstrated that a characteristic (ability to cause disease) was a trait that could be passed from dead cells to living cells

It demonstrated that a characteristic (ability to cause disease) could only be transferred between living cells.

It demonstrated that a characteristic (ability to cause disease) could only be acquired by cells that were once dead and then reincarnated.

It demonstrated nothing of significance.
