Answer:

Virus

Explanation:

A virus is an infectious particle which is composed of the genetic material enclosed in a protein structure called capsomere.

Since the virus does not fulfil the criterion of a living thing like it has its metabolism, reproduction, growth, movement and cellular structures therefore it is considered as a non-living thing.

Since the virus does not have reproductive machinery therefore they use the DNA replication machinery of host. They use the host's machinery by integrating their genome in the genome of the host and replicate their genome. Through this mechanism, they make copies of them.

Thus, the virus is the correct answer.

NeanderthalsThese artistic innovators were probably Neanderthals. Dated to 65,000 years ago, the cave paintings and shell beads are the first works of art dated to the time of Neanderthals, and they include the oldest cave art ever found

Explanation:

Which hominids created art? The first human artist on Earth is believed to have drew on a cave wall with red ochre over 65,000 years ago, as a Neanderthal reached out and drew on it. There is no evidence that the modern human is the only species to express itself through art, as is widely believed.
