1. Analyzing Java Method Output
Given two methods, display(int x, double y) and display(int p, double q), let’s analyze the output.
The first method,
display(int x, double y), prints the sum ofxandy. Therefore,4 + 5.0results in9.0, which is printed to the console.The second method,
display(int p, double q), returns the sum ofpandqas adouble. So,4 + 5.0is9.0, which is returned and then printed by theSystem.out.println()call.
Thus, the output of the program will be:
Answer:
9.0
9.0The correct

Foundational Genetic Experiments
Griffith’s transformation experiment demonstrated that non-virulent bacteria could become virulent by absorbing DNA from dead virulent cells, proving that DNA is the genetic material. The Hershey and Chase experiment used radioactive labeling (phosphorus for DNA and sulfur for protein) to confirm that only DNA enters bacterial cells during phage infection, further establishing DNA as
