What characteristic applies to all three domains and viruses?
They have genetic material. (Novanet)
Viruses have some of the properties of living organisms which is a characteristic of all organisms but NOT of viruses?
One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living. And also when inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do.
What are two activities that are characteristic of cell but not of viruses?
Cells can reproduce without help, cells can not invade other cells, cells have cell membranes and cells have a nucleus
Can anything not made of cells be alive?
That depends on your definition of life. Viruses are not cellular, and some people consider them to be alive. Viruses can replicate themselves, which is a characteristic of living things, but in general can only live inside another cell, so they don't live independently.
Enumerate and define the characteristic of living organism?
The defining characteristic of a living organism is the ability to reproduce. Many scientists say that viruses are not really living organisms because they can not reproduce independently, but must enter a living cell and reproduce as the cell itself reproduces.

The characteristic of open source software?
only one? i would say no VIRUSES... :)
What characteristic of living things do viruses have that ultimately create the problems you have with them?
it can grow and develop and reproduce
What viruses can continually transform themselves so they will not be detected by AV software that is looking for a particular characteristic?
encrypting

Why is A difficult to classify virus as a livingthings?
It is difficult because viruses lack the ability to replicate themselves and theey lacks energy metabolism and other pathways that living things have. Viruses are totally depending on their host. If they want to replicate, they have to infect the host.
What characteristic of the irc protocal makes it an effective way to spread viruses and worms quickly?
It Broadcast communication from one chat room participant to others.

What viruses cause skin infections?
Viruses, such as herpes, can also cause skin infections. Specimens for viral cultures are mixed with commercially-prepared animal cells in a test tube. Characteristic changes to the cells caused by the growing virus help identify the virus.

Which characteristic applies all three domains and viruses?
They all have a nucleic acid genetic code, weather it is DNA or RNA can vary but, it is always nucleic acids. They have genetic material. ---- Novanet
