- Viruses are not considered living entities, despite the fact that they evolve, have genetic information, and are connected to living organisms. What characteristics of living organisms do viruses lack? Give a brief explanation of how viruses lack these aspects.arrow_forwardAs a general rule, viruses are not considered to be alive based on several reasons. One such reason is that some viruses use RNA as their genetic material instead of DNA. Which of the five biological themes does this violate? Briefly explain why.arrow_forwardWhat would happen to a virus that found its way to an environment filled only with cells that were outside of its host range? a) This virus would evolve until it was able to use the surrounding cells as hosts b) This virus would actively transport itself to another area in search of host cells C) This virus would replicate until it found cells that were within its host range d) Nothing; this virus would not be replicatedarrow_forward
