which 8 characteristics of life do viruses have?

['Have genetic material i.e either DNA or RNA .', 'Can undergo mutation.', 'Show irritability.', 'Are capable to reproduce and hence can increase their number.', 'React to heat, chemicals and radiations.', 'Are resistant to antibiotics.']

Four characteristics were to be used for the classification of all viruses: Type of the nucleic acid including size of the genome, strandedness (single or double), linear or circular, positive or negative (sense), segments (number and size), sequence and G+C content etc. Symmetry of the protein shell.

Cells are the basic units of life. Cells can exist by themselves, like bacteria, or as part of a larger organism, like our cells. Viruses are non-living infectious particles, much smaller than a cell, and need a living host to reproduce. The genetic material of the cell is DNA, a double stranded helix.

Properties of Life. All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing.

['Nucleic acid -contains 3-400 genes. ... ', 'Capsid -The capsid accounts for most of the virion mass. ... ', 'Envelope -this is an amorphous structure composed of lipid, protein and carbohydrate which lies to the outside of the capsid. ... ', 'Spikes. ... ', 'Icosahedral -The protomeres aggregate in groups of five or six to form the capsomere.']

['They are eukaryotic and multicellular.', 'Their cells have cellulose walls.', 'Majority have transport system.', 'They have photosynthesis hence autotrophic.', 'Reproduction is both asexual and sexual.', 'They show alternation of generation.']

Although viruses are not classified as living things, they share two important traits with living things. They have genetic material, and they can evolve. This is why the classification of viruses has been controversial.

['Single-Celled. Perhaps the most straightforward characteristic of bacteria is their existence as single-celled organisms. ... ', 'Absent Organelles. ... ', 'Plasma Membrane. ... ', 'Cell Walls. ... ', 'DNA.']

According to the seven characteristics of life, all living beings must be able to respond to stimuli; grow over time; produce offspring; maintain a stable body temperature; metabolize energy; consist of one or more cells; and adapt to their environment.

While there some advanced viruses that seem fancy, viruses don't have any of the parts you would normally think of when you think of a cell. They have no nuclei, mitochondria, or ribosomes. Some viruses do not even have cytoplasm. We've already established what viruses aren't.

Viruses are not cells at all, so they are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes. Viruses contain DNA but not much else. They lack the other parts shared by all cells, including a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.

A: Viruses requires a host for growth and reproduction. B: Viruses contain membrane bound organelles. C: Prokaryotes are not considered living. ... Prokaryotes contain membrane bound organelles.

All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.

A virus particle ( virion) does not have cell wall ( like prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells). It has a protein coat that encases the nucleic acid ( DNA or RNA). Their structures vary greatly. Like bacterial virus ( phages) have a head, neck, tail, tail fiber, etc that are of proteins.

', 'Replication and Assembly. ... ', 'Egress.']

State which characteristics or properties viruses have in common with living organisms. The characteristics that viruses have common with living organisms are reproduction and heredity. They can only reproduce inside the host cell and they do have DNA or RNA.

Viruses are not classified as cells and therefore are neither unicellular nor multicellular organisms. Most people do not even classify viruses as "living" as they lack a metabolic system and are dependent on the host cells that they infect to reproduce.
