What was griffins contribution to the discovery of dna?

Griffin worked on a project that enabled others to point out that DNA was the molecule of inheritance. Griffith's experiment involved mice and two types of pneumonia, a virulent and a non-virulent kind. He injected the virulent pneumonia into a mouse and the mouse died. Next he injected the non-virulent pneumonia into a mouse and the mouse continued to live. After this, he heated up the virulent disease to kill it and then injected it into a mouse. The mouse lived on. Last he injected non-virulent pneumonia and virulent pneumonia, that had been heated and killed, into a mouse. This mouse died.
Why? Griffith thought that the killed virulent bacteria had passed on a characteristic to the non-virulent one to make it virulent. He thought that this characteristic was in the inheritance molecule. This passing on of the inheritance molecule was what he called transformation. 

It may have some of the same features that it’s mother does but, it may have some of the same features that it’s father has as well.
