A bacterial strain S was heat killed. Another strain R (living) was taken and mixed with this S strain. This mixture of S+R strains were injected into mice. Which of the following are observed by Griffith?

I. The cells of S strain were dead in dead mice.

II. The bacterial cells without polysaccharide coat are transformed into virulent strain in the injected mice.

II. Griffith could not find living S strain in the body of dead mice.

IV. Griffith could find living S strain in the body of dead mice.

The correct combination is:
