Explanation:
Viruses are considered at the borderline of living and non-living because they show both the characteristics of a living and a non-living. As they react like non-living in the free atmosphere but when they enter the body of a living organism then they show the features of a living organism and start reproduction. Some special features of being a living are that DNA and RNA codes are present in them. some special features of being non-living are that they do some functions like excretion and can't multiply by own.
