They do reproduce but a virus can't reproduce outside of a host cell
so the only thing in common really is that the virus needs a cell to reproduce
The only real similarity between viruses and living cells are that they both have some sort of genetic material. Cells have DNA and viruses have either RNA or DNA. But since viruses cannot reproduce on their own (because they are non-living) they need to reproduce by inserting their genetic material into living cells.

What is a typical virus made of?
A typical virus is made up of a core of genetic material, either RNA or DNA. It is engulfed by a protective coat referred to as a capsid which is made up of protein.
What is the Common name for Epstein Barr virus?
The common name for Epstein Barr virus is EBV or human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4).
What best describes a rhinovirus?
a virus that causes the common cold
How do insects spread plant viruses?
Insects can spread plant viruses by acting as vectors, carrying the virus from infected plants to healthy ones as they feed on plant sap. When an insect feeds on an infected plant and then moves to a healthy plant, it can deposit the virus into the healthy plant's tissues through its feeding activities, thereby spreading the virus to new hosts.
Can you see virus with the naked eye?
Since a virus is far smaller than a typical cell (much smaller than a prokaryote) a virus cannot be seen by a regular microscope. To see a virus, you should get an electron microscope.
What does a virus and a typical plant cell have in common?
Both a virus and a typical plant cell contain genetic material, either DNA or RNA, which carries the information necessary for replication and functioning. They also interact with their environments, with viruses requiring a host cell to replicate, while plant cells can photosynthesize and perform metabolic processes independently. Additionally, both can be involved in the broader ecological interactions within their ecosystems, though their roles and mechanisms are very different.
What is the structure of typical virus?
a typical virus has a core of DNA or RNA and a protein coat
How much does a typical virus weigh in femtograms?
A typical virus can weigh anywhere from a few femtograms to a few nanograms, depending on the type and size of the virus. On average, a typical virus weighs around 10-1,000 femtograms.
Is Mcafee virus protection as effective as the other virus protection software out there?
"The McAfee virus protection software is as effective as other major virus protection software brands, and offers many typical features, such as firewall protection, e-mail filtering, and website security checks for safe internet browsing."
What does a cell and virus have in common?
