Answer

Just think critically about why (if you were an egg laying species), having a fetus/baby develop inside of you would be advantageous.

For one, eggs are much less protected from outside factors such as predators, temperature, etc than live birthed creatures. Live birth provides protection inside the mothers body from things such as heat, cold, moisture, predatory animals, etc. An egg laying animal must keep its eggs at a perfect temperature and check to make sure no other animal has eaten them.

What set of characteristics do living organisms such as birds, trees, and bacteria have that distinguish them from nonliving thi
Sergio [31]
The 7 (sometimes 8) characteristics of life are:
1. living things are composed of cells
2. living things have different levels of organization
3. living things metabolize (i.e. use energy)
4. living things respond to their environment
5. living things grow
6. living things reproduce
7. living things adapt to their environment
(some sources include) 8. living things have genetic material

Viruses do not metabolize, they do not grow, they do not adapt to their environment, and they cannot reproduce independently; viruses require host cells to reproduce and perform the other functions that give them the appearance of aliveness.
