1. live R + carbohydrate of s type= mice survived
2. live R + proteins of s type= mice survived
3. live R + lipids of s type=mice survived
4 live R + dna of s type= mice died
5. live R + dna of s type + DNase=mice survived
6. live R +protein of s type + proteases=mice survived
COCNCLUSION:- DNA is transforming chemical
