Proteins are not hereditary material because of many reasons. Few of them are:
No Uniformity in the structure: For a molecule to be carrier of heredity, It is important that its structure should remain universal. While, there is a lot of structural variation in the proteins, the structure of DNA is fairly same.
The difference of the protein contents of the cells: Different cells in the same organism have different proteins and at different times in the same cells, the protein content varies. The DNA content of the all the cells in an organism are same irrespective of their location in body and time.

Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the proteins parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
How does an active virus multiply?
Once inside a cell, a virus's genetic material takes over of the cell's functions. It instructs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material then assemble into new viruses.
Is a virus considered living?
no because it is only genetic material encased in proteins
Virus is considered living?
