The DNA provides clues about who is responsible for spreading the bacteria.

The DNA gives information about whether a bacteria is dangerous.

The DNA proves the bacteria can live inside of animals.

This question has two parts. First answer Part A, then answer Part B

All of the people who drank cider were now sick.

Some strains of E. coli are not harmful in cider.

Part B

What idea did Besser have that helped him solve the case? (RI.7.3)

DNA can help identify bacteria.

Bacteria are not the only things that make people sick.

E. coli could spread through droppings and food.

Certain strains of bacteria are not dangerous.
