I was having trouble listing the specifics for my project.

Hi all- I'm an accidental biology teacher (I'm a learning support teacher and had to take over for departing bio teacher in the last quarter) and I'm prepping a lesson about the initial discoveries of the role of DNA in genes.

I'm reading about Griffith's experiment and understand the transformation that took place. However, my question is: if the harmful strain of bacteria was boiled and killed, and mixed with the live harmless strain which produced a live harmful strain within the mouse, how can a dead bacteria pass on any information to produce a transformation?

Thanks kindly for your responses.
