Are Viruses able to reproduce without using other organisms?
viruses are dormant when they are not inside a living cell. that means they don't have living characteristics when outside a living cell. they only reproduce when they are inside a living cell.
What is a male virus called?
There are no male and female viruses. Viruses do not reproduce sexually and so do not have gender.
Non-living thing that reproduces?
You may be thinking of viruses. They are not technically living because they are not made of cells, and have none of the interior structure of cells, but they do have DNA or RNA. Viruses high-jack living cells by inserting their own genetic material and forcing the cell to become a virus factory until it bursts and releases the new viruses. Viruses do not reproduce by themselves. They have to take over a living cell to do that in a process called replication.
What do viruses have to rely on for replication?
They rely on their host. They can not reproduce on their own, so they are not considered living. They inject genetic information into a host cell and make the cell produce more viruses.
What is the empirical evidence of evolution?
Bacteria, they reproduce so fast you see them evolve.

Which is difference between bacteria and viruses that shows that bacteria are living organisms and viruses not?
Bacteria are able to reproduce on their own while viruses need a host to "hijack" so they can reproduce. Bacteria have metabolisms, catabolic and anabolic biochemical reactions going on in their cells all the time. Viruses do not. Bacteria can grow in size to a certain extent while viruses do not change in this regard. The definition of living things classify bacteria as a living thing, while viruses are not.

Do viruses reproduce with live or dead?
viruses are nonliving things. but they need living things to reproduces. so live
Can viruses reproduce with dead or alive cells?
Virus need a working DNA replicating machinary so they can be reproduce only in living cell.

Why do flies hatch so fast in horse manure?
because they feed of the manure so when the magits hatch they have food right away so they grow quickly and are able to reproduce in about 24 hours.
Are all organisms living things?
Yes **G1N4** I thought some living things are not organisms, because they are not free living.
Why do bacteria grow on gelatin in a peri dish and viruses cannot grow in this manner?
Because viruses are considered nonliving and they need a host to reproduce, therfore they cannot live on their own. Now bacteria can reproduce asexually, so they can get bigger and do not need a host..
Is viruses are not living?
They are because viruses are a form of micro-organism. so that makes them very small living things. They are roughly 1/1000 of a millimetre in size, and there sole purpose is to eat and reproduce.
