what living features does it show?
They possess genes, evolve by natural selection, and reproduce by creating multiple copies of themselves through self-assembly.
Virus
ng organisms. They have been described as "organisms at the edge of life", since they resemble organisms in that they possess genes, evolve by natural selection, and reproduce by creating multiple copies of themselves through self-assembly. Although they have genes, they do not have a cellular structure, which is often seen as the basic unit of life. Viruses do not have their own metabolism and require a host cell to make new products. They therefore cannot naturally reproduce outside a host cell—although bacterial
the four chemical bases that make up dna are adenine thymine guanine and cystosine Yes, that is correct. what is the full form of the abbreviation mentioned above? Deoxyribonucleic acid. what is it? It is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. can you explain a bit more about the microorganism that you just mentioned? A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism. from where does it get its name? Latin. by whom was it discovered? Bartholomeus Anglicus.

Virus [SEP] Life properties
Scientific opinions differ on whether viruses are a form of life or organic structures that interact with living organisms. They have been described as "organisms at the edge of life", since they resemble organisms in that they possess genes, evolve by natural selection, and reproduce by creating multiple copies of themselves through self-assembly. Although they have genes, they do not have a cellular structure, which is often seen as the basic unit of life. Viruses do not have their own metabolism and require a host cell to make new products. They therefore cannot naturally reproduce outside a host cell—although bacterial species such as rickettsia and chlamydia are considered living organisms despite the same limitation.
