A virus cannot reproduce independently, which is one of the key characteristics outlined in the acronym MRS GREN (Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition). Unlike living organisms, viruses require a host cell to replicate and do not carry out metabolic processes on their own. As a result, they lack the ability to perform essential life functions without the machinery of a host.
