times.Genotype–phenotype mappingHighly complex biochemical and developmental process influenced by the environment.Typically a simple mathematical transformation or parameterized procedure. A few systems use generative and developmental genotype–phenotype maps.VariationOffspring are created from one (asexual reproduction) or two parents (sexual reproduction). Horizontal gene transfer can accumulate genes from more individuals.Unconstrained vertical gene transfer. Offspring may be generated from any number of parents: one, two or many.ExecutionParallel, decentralized execution; birth and death events are not synchronized.Typically centralized with synchronized birth and death.PopulationSpatial embedding implies structured populations. Population size varies according to the relative number of birth and death events. Populations can and do go extinct.Typically unstructured and panmictic (all individuals are potential partners). Population size is usually kept constant by sync

Answer 2

1) biological virus affects living organism
while computer virus affects computer system
biological

2) Biological virus are naturally made whereas computer viruses are made by hackers

3) Biological virus can be treated by medicines, whereas computer viruses can be treated by apps
