Viruses are considered to be non-living and because they are not alive, they can not reproduce. A better term is to replicate or make a copy of themselves. It is like using a copy machine.
no metabolism
because all right
The flu virus is considered a non-living thing. It is a microscopic particle that requires a host cell to replicate and survive.
The virus that causes chicken pox is not considered a living organism because it does not possess the characteristics typically associated with life. It cannot reproduce independently, does not metabolize nutrients, nor does it exhibit cellular structure or functions. Instead, it relies on hijacking the cellular machinery of living hosts to replicate and propagate itself. Thus, it is classified as a virus, which is distinct from living organisms.
There are virus's that chickens get, yes. I am not aware of a virus called "chicken virus" unless you are referring to "chicken pox". There is "chicken anaemia virus" or CAV but it's not very common nowadays due to better vaccinations.
a virus because they are not considered living due to the fact that they can only reproduce my attack host cells
HIV is a virus, and since viruses require another organism to carry out the functions that would classify it as a living organism, it's considered "dead," that is until it finds a host.
Viruses lack the ability to reproduce independently since they rely on host cells for replication. They also lack cellular structures and processes found in living organisms, such as metabolism and growth. These characteristics lead to viruses being classified as non-living entities.
Virus cannot considered living. They lack cellular organization
A virus is considered non-living. It does not have all the characteristics of a living thing unlike bacteria. Viruses need living cells to reproduce while any living things can reproduce (asexually or not).

DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA. When this virus invades a Bacterial cell, it forms the Bacteriophase.DNA is the fundamental living matter. A virus, considered to be a living matter consists of core of DNA.
