DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA.

because all right
A virus is considered non-living. It does not have all the characteristics of a living thing unlike bacteria. Viruses need living cells to reproduce while any living things can reproduce (asexually or not).
The flu virus is considered a non-living thing. It is a microscopic particle that requires a host cell to replicate and survive.
Be more specific? Viruses can be considered pathogens, but they are not considered living because they do not obey the cell theory.
No, viruses do not require living space because they are not considered living organisms. They are simple genetic material contained within a protein coat, and they replicate by hijacking the machinery of host cells.
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.
