Virus are living because they:
Reproduce, have Genetic Material (Nucleic Acids) and Adapt
.
Explanation:
Virus have genes or genetic material which are layered in a capsid or protein coat and sometimes a lipid bilayer.
It is not made up of cells yet can be considered a living organism because of the genetic material RNA or DNA in it.
The infect the host and take over host replication machinery and replicates itself. Although it is not able to replicate outside the living body.
They adapt to the host's body environment as many adaptation are present in it as capsid layer which protects its genetic material from getting degrade till the time it reaches nucleus of the cell.
There are 7 point criteria for an organism to be living, virus fulfils some of it except having made up of cells and having cellular organization.
A: Population
If a group of one certain species are living in the same area they are a population. The same goes for humans, we are the same species and when we live in the same area we say we are part of a population. That’s why you would hear things like “the population of massachusetts is 2million” or whatever it is.
A:Incineration I think sorry if I’m wrong
It has been a while since biology...but if there is one thing I definitely remember, it is the replication process of DNA.
Once the cell is ready to commence the process of replication, it begins by unzipping the double helix. This task is completed by an enzyme called the DNA Helicase. Then a DNA Polymerase takes half of the unzipped DNA strand and creates corresponding deoxyribonucleotides.
Hope I could help! Have a good one.
