Question

why is virus an exception to cell theory?

Answer 1

Viruses can be considered to be alive as they depend upon hosts to replicate their DNA from RNA. They are much smaller then cells. But cell theory states that " all living cells are made of cells that are fundamental unit of life". ... Therefore it is an exception to the theory.
