Hii machiii ✋...


➡️ Whether or not viruses should be considered as alive is controversial.

➡️ Yet it is almost certain that they did not know exactly what a virus was. They were, and are, not alone.

➡️ viruses do not show any visible or molecular movement in them until they infect some cell.

➡️ So, there is a controversy about viruses being living or non living as outside the host they behave.

➡️ In fact, viruses do not show any molecular movement there is a controversy about whether they are truly alive or not.

Because viruses are not made up of cells though made up of a set of genetic codes.

Explanation:

• Viruses do not have nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles, etc. like other cells. Unlike reproduction, viruses multiply as whole organisms. This is called as replication.
• Viruses do not produce offspring. Viruses use host cells for replication. Viruses do not grow like other organisms, microorganisms, or cells grow.
• They neither increase in size or complexity but increase in numbers.
