Answer 1

Why is virus thought of as something in between the living and nonliving?

Virus just like non living organisms out of their host cells. In their host cells, they multiply just like any other living organism.

How do virus multiply within a host cell ?

In the host cells, virus enter and firstly cause the disintegration of the host nucleus. Now they have the full control of the host cell. They direct the host cell to produce viral parts like viral nucleic acid, protein coat, etc. Later, assemblage of these parts takes place in the host cell and then the host cell bursts to release the newly formed virus.
