    scientific community about whether viruses are living organisms or simply organic structures that interact with them, as they resemble organisms in many ways but do not have their own metabolism and cannot naturally reproduce outside a host cell. Virus particles, or virions, consist of two main parts: genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA, which may be single- or double-stranded, and a protein coat, or capsid, that encapsulates and protects those genes. To reproduce, a virion will attach to
