The two characteristics that viruses have same as that of living things are mentioned as under:-

1. They have genetic material & 5.They reproduce.

They have genetic material as either DNA or RNA like living beings. The genetic material of viruses is surrounded by capsid which is made up of proteins. Apart from this basic feature they have the ability to reproduce. They infect a host cell and take control of host's cellular machinery to reproduce. They use host's energy in the form ATP and use the host's resources to regenerate their own replicas. They are basically parasitic in nature because they infect a host and use its resources without providing it any benefit.

Rest of the options are incorrect. Viruses do not increase in size. They are acellular i.e. they are not cellular neither they eliminate wastes.
