1. Viruses are a cellular, non-cytoplasmic infectious agents.
2. They are smaller than bacteria, and this can pass through bacteriological filter.
3. Viruses are transmissible from disease to healthy organisms.
4.All viruses are obligate parasites and can multiply only within the living host cells.
5.Viruses contain only a single type of nucleic acid either DNA or RNA.
6. Viruses are host specific that they infect only a single species and definite cells of the host organisms.
7. Viruses are effective in very small doses. They are highly resistant to germicides and extremes of physical conditions.

Which features classify viruses?
Viruses are classified based on features such as their genetic material (DNA or RNA), structure (envelope or non-enveloped), size, host specificity, and mode of transmission. Additionally, classification can also be based on the diseases they cause, their replication strategies, and other molecular characteristics.
Why do people call viruses living when they are not?
While viruses exhibit some characteristics of living organisms, such as evolving and reproducing, they lack key features of life, such as the ability to carry out metabolic processes and respond to their environment. Therefore, they are often considered as biological entities that blur the line between living and non-living.
How are computer viruses similar to and different from biological viruses?
Both types:are spread by contact with a contaminated sourcecan be blocked with defensescan be modified and weaponisedcan go away after a time if certain measures are takencan kill whatever they infectcan change over timecan be costlyDifferences:computer viruses only work in a computer hostbiological viruses only work in a biological hostbiological viruses can spontaneously mutatecomputer viruses are createdbiological viruses are far more complex
Who study viruses?
Viruses have the ability to greatly affect life on earth. Many viruses, such as HIV and influenza have killed millions of people. By studying viruses, scientists are able to develop vaccines that will protect people (and animals) from viruses.
What is the name of a scientist who studies viruses?
A virologist is a scientist who studies viruses.
Which features suggests that viruses are non-living microbes?
They replicate using a host cell's metabolic machinery.
Which features classify viruses?

What the features of Clam Antivirus?
Clam Antivirus features fast scanning and is equipped to detect over 1 million viruses, worms, and trojans. It also features support for most mail file formats and HTML.
What is the best desktop camera?
Mac 1 They are super fast 2 Great programs and features 3 They are less likely to get viruses
How do you protect your data from viruses?
You intall an anti-virus software. The cheaper you go, the less features there are and of course, the most you pay, the better features and protection there is. If you are going for a free one, I don't recommend AVG.
Name two features that distinguish viruses from bacteria?
All bacteria use their own ribosomes for protein synthesis while all viruses have to use their hosts' ribosomes. All bacteria have their own energy generation mechanisms (cellular respiration or photosynthesis) while all viruses have no intrinsic energy generation mechanisms.
Can cancer viruses infect cells if they don't have tails?
Cancer viruses, like all viruses, require specific mechanisms to infect host cells, typically involving the binding of viral proteins to cell receptors. The presence or absence of tails in viruses generally refers to structural characteristics and does not directly determine their ability to infect cells. Many viruses without tails, such as certain types of retroviruses, can still effectively attach to and enter host cells. Therefore, viruses can infect cells regardless of their structural features, as long as they possess the necessary components for attachment and entry.
What computer program is used to prevent computer viruses from infecting a computer?
Many programs today have security features built-in which are designed to stop viruses from infecting your computer. The main program that does this though is called an anti-virus program. This type of program removes viruses from your computer and sometimes attempts to stop viruses from being installed or even downloaded. There are many free programs of this type, such as AVG or Microsoft Security Essentials.
What are the 3 types viruses?
Computer viruses, Macro Viruses, and Directory Viruses
Virology is the study of what?
the study of viruses
Are there any benefits associated with using apache openoffice verses Microsoft office?
microsoft and openoffice are basically the same except for a few different features and viruses
What lifelike features do viruses have?
Viruses have features including genes made from either DNa or RNA, protein coats that protect these genes, and some have a layer of fat surrounding them when they are outside a cell for insulation and protection. Retroviruses have the unique ability to change the host's RNA into mutant DNA.
