Question

What is the fact that support the concept that viruses are living is that?

Answer 1

They keep multiplying themselves so reproduction is also one of the facts that ensure us that viruses are living creatures and the different diseases are also caused by the different viruses that are around but some viruses are even good for our health and are especially added to some food products but they are actually somewhere between ling and nonliving creatures

Answer 2

Viruses straddle the definition of life. They lie somewhere between supra molecular complexes and very simple biological entities. Viruses contain some of the structures and exhibit some of the activities that are common to organic life, but they are missing many of the others. In general, viruses are entirely composed of a single strand of genetic information encased within a protein capsule. Viruses lack most of the internal structure and machinery which characterize 'life', including the biosynthetic machinery that is necessary for reproduction. In order for a virus to replicate it must infect a suitable host cell".
