What else can I help you with?
Where are viruses on the tree of life?
Many, if not most biologists do not consider viruses living. So, they are not on any phylogenetic tree that I know of. They may have a phylogeny that I am unaware of, though.
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
What does not fit into any of the kingdoms?
Viruses do not fit into any of the traditional kingdoms of living organisms. They lack the characteristics of life such as the ability to reproduce or metabolize on their own, and are considered as non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate.
What new evidence is most convincing to you that viruses should be considered living things?
Recent evidence highlighting the complexity of viral replication and their ability to evolve and adapt supports the notion that viruses exhibit characteristics of living organisms. For instance, some viruses possess sophisticated mechanisms for gene regulation and can engage in symbiotic relationships with their hosts, akin to living cells. Additionally, the discovery of giant viruses with complex genomes and features resembling cellular life further blurs the line between living and non-living entities, suggesting that viruses may indeed occupy a unique position in the tree of life.
What is the only life function that viruses share with a cell?
The only life function that a virus shares with a cell is reproduction. Both cells and viruses reproduce in some way.
Why dont viruses fit into any of the 6 kingdoms of life?
Viruses don't fit into the kingdoms of life because they aren't considered to be living things, even though they have DNA. Weird right?
Where are viruses on the tree of life?
Many, if not most biologists do not consider viruses living. So, they are not on any phylogenetic tree that I know of. They may have a phylogeny that I am unaware of, though.
What type of cell are viruses?
None. Viruses are acellular. Many biologists do not consider viruses to be living things in part because they are acellular. Look at any phylogeny (tree of life). Viruses are not on them.
ARE Viruses are a type of cell?
The type of cells that viruses live in are host cells. Viruses need host cells in order to reproduce or multiply.
What are the seven life processes of viruses?
Since viruses are not alive they can not have life processes.
Can trees be infected by viruses?
There are no known viruses that can be hosted by a tree. There are however parisites and Fungi that can be harmfull to any plant, shrub, or tree. The only example I know of where a tree might harbor a viruse is if a bark beetle was to by chance have the flu.
How many viruses can you fit in a period?
The number of viruses that can fit in a period (.) varies depending on the type of virus, but many common viruses range from about 20 to 300 nanometers in diameter. A period is approximately 0.5 millimeters (500 micrometers) in size, which means you could fit thousands to millions of viruses within that space, depending on their size. For example, if we consider a virus with a diameter of 100 nanometers, roughly 5,000 of them could fit in a period.
What does not fit into any of the kingdoms?
Viruses do not fit into any of the traditional kingdoms of living organisms. They lack the characteristics of life such as the ability to reproduce or metabolize on their own, and are considered as non-living entities that require a host cell to replicate.
How many monkeys can fit into a tree?
Monkeys live in colonies of about 10 to 20. Even a about 50 monkeys can fit in a tree. It depends on the size of the tree.
Which is one of the three domains viruses Animalia Protista Eukarya?
Viruses are not classified within any of the three domains of life, which are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. They do not fit into the domains of Animalia or Protista, as they are acellular entities that require a host cell to replicate and do not possess cellular structures. Instead, viruses are considered separate biological entities.
Why the coconut tree is called the tree of life?
It is not called The tree of Life.
How many viruses can fit in 1 mm?
about 500 million to 1 billion
