34. In 1928, Frederick Griffith established there is a transforming principle in
bacterial genetics. Later on, we learn that the transforming principle is DNA
and that bacterial cells are capable of transferring genetic material from one
cell to another. Explain how this illustration shows this concept.

36. How does mutation increase viral diversity?
37. Explain in your own words how the avian flu and swine flu were able to infect
humans. Why have we not seen dog flu break-outs in humans yet?
38. Write the descriptions under the correct drawing.
