Virus
anything that was once living has genetic material
All living organisms have DNA. They differ subtly, but are about 99% similar.
The nucleus of the cell encapsulates the genetic material, DNA in chromosomes.(Mitochondria, plasmids, chloroplasts also contain genetic material but that is not the main example.)
This question is vague. DNA and RNA, nucleic acids, make up the genetic material of living organisms. The nucleotides, building blocks that make up nucleic acids are Cytosine, guanine, adenine,Cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine thymine, and uracil. See the link for more info.
Considering that plants are also living things we all need oxygen, so all living things breath.
They have genetic material and they reproduce.
Viruses can reproduce very quickly. When reproducing they enter a living cell and they inject their genetic material.
Yes, sperm are considered living organisms because they have the ability to reproduce and carry genetic material.
They contain genetic material. Although virus' contain genetic material, they can not reproduce without being inside of a host cell. Many scientists question if they can be considered living or not, as this is the only life function they are capable of performing.
The DNA molecule is the genetic material of life.
Yes, all living things have genetic material.
anything that was once living has genetic material
No, not all living things reproduce asexually. Many organisms reproduce sexually, where genetic material from two parents is combined to produce offspring with genetic diversity. Some organisms also have the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually, depending on environmental conditions.
All living things have of a genetic material.
If A is not a living thing but consists of genetic material inside a protein coat, it is likely a virus. Viruses are infectious agents that rely on host cell machinery to reproduce and are not considered living organisms since they cannot carry out metabolic processes on their own.
The only characteristic of a living thing that is shared by viruses is genetic material, either DNA or RNA. They do not reproduce, their genetic information hijacks a living cell's machinery, and turns the cell into a virus factory, this is called replication. They do not require food. Some viruses have moving parts that allow them to inject their genetic material into the host cell.
When a virus invades a living cell, it uses the cell's machinery to replicate itself. The virus takes over the cell's functions by hijacking its cellular processes, such as protein synthesis and replication, to produce more viruses. This ultimately leads to the destruction of the host cell.
