Question

why does viruses form a exception to cell theory

Answer 1

Hey friend!!!

Viruses are non cellular organisms that are characterised by having an inert crystalline structure outside the living cell or their host.
Once they infect a living cell they take over the machinery of the host to replicate themselves, finally killing the host.
Since they are not TRULY living, they form an exception to cell theory.

HOPE IT HELPS....
