Virus shows the characteristics of both living organisms and non-living things. So they are called the connecting link between living and non-living.
Living characteristics include:
1.They can reproduce.
2.They can move from one place to other.
3.Contain a strand of DNA or RNA
4. They are parasitic in nature
Non living characteristics include:
1.They cannot replicate on their own. They need a host.
2.They don't have any organelles.
3.They can stay dead in crystalline form for thousands of years.
