Why are viruses considering to be non living?
Many scientists consider viruses to be non living because each and every living organism must carry out these 7 life processes for it to be considered living: Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Growth, Respiration, Excretion and Nutrition. Viruses do all of these things except reproduction, which they cannot do. Instead, they multiply by using other living organism's cells which has caused a lot of debate over whether that counts as reproduction in the scientific community.
Does a virus use sexual reproduction?
Viruses cannot reproduce themselves alone. They inject their DNA into living cells of a host organism. The virus cells use the host cells to develop themselves and leave the cell when ready. Viruses are not living, so they are dependent on a living organism for reproduction.
Enumerate and define the characteristic of living organism?
