The virus that causes chicken pox contains DNA. It reproduces inside the cells of living organisms. The virus is not made of cells and does not eat or breathe. Why isn and rsquot the virus considered?

The virus that causes chicken pox is not considered a living organism because it does not possess the characteristics typically associated with life. It cannot reproduce independently, does not metabolize nutrients, nor does it exhibit cellular structure or functions. Instead, it relies on hijacking the cellular machinery of living hosts to replicate and propagate itself. Thus, it is classified as a virus, which is distinct from living organisms.
