Because viruses lack some of the traits seen in all living things, many scientists do not believe viruses to be genuinely "alive." Using a few characteristics of live organisms as examples, explain why viruses may not be truly "alive."
As 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.
Although the virus that causes smallpox has been eradicated, there are still stocks of the virus, which are kept in labs in the US and Russia. Why may someone argue that these stocks be destroyed?
