Viruses are the biological, infective agents which reproduce inside the body of the host. they have a definite boundary around them separating their genetic material from the surroundings.

The viruses display made up of the core of the genetic material, that is the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), or the RNA (Ribonucleic acid). They are not made up of the cells.

The viruses never exhibits the signs of growth and development, and there is no internal organization in the viruses as there are no organs present.

Since, they never grow or have metabolic process, they have no need to eliminate waste either.

Answer:

Characters displayed by virus -1. has a defined boundary

Characters not displayed by virus-1. made up of one or more cells

                                               2. uses energy

                                               3. exhibits growth and development processes

                                               4.  internal organization

                                               5. eliminates waste

Virus is a biological agent which requires a living host cell to complete its life cycle as they replicate inside a living host.

Outside the host cells they exist as a capsid or protein coat enclosing the genetic material- DNA or RNA which, codes for the virus elements. They lack cell organelle, cytoplasm and internal organization. so they are not cellular.

They are metabolically inert that is not able to perform any metabolic functions outside host, so, not use energy and produce any waste.

Thus, they do not show most of the characters of a cell.

natali 33 [55]

Answer;

Seedless plant.


The fossil of a plant reveals that it produced spores that were used for reproduction. It was a seedless plant.


Explanation;

-Seedless vascular plants are plants such as fern and horsetails, liverworts, mosses; which contain vascular tissues, but do not produce flowers or seed.

-These plants reproduce using haploid , unicellular spores instead of seeds.

-These plants have life cycles with two distinct stages; one in which spores are produced and one in which sex cells are produced.

Katen [24]

Answer:

They had a large brain size of 700 to 1,250 cubic centimeters and large brow ridges with a nuchal torus at the back of the skull.

Explanation:

<em>Homo erectus</em> was one of the species of the homo genus which were considered the first species to have the human-like the feature that is they can stand upright on two legs and were therefore referred to as the upright man.

They showed many evolutionary advances over their ancestors called Homo Australopithecus as they showed encephalization. Encephalization refers to the increase in the size of the brain due to more neuronal complexity and neurogenesis and they possessed about 750 to 1250 cc brain size.

They showed torus at the back of the muscle which can hold the muscle of the neck and also showed the large brow ridges in the front of the skull.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
