How virus shows both living and nonliving characteristic???​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that has been a topic of debate in biological sciences. This debate is based on whether virus should be classified as a living thing or not. However, it has been shown that viruses possess characteristics or properties of both living and non-living things.

The living thing characteristics include;

- Ability to reproduce or replicate (in living cells only and not on their own).

The nonliving characteristics include;

- Lack of cells, which is a strong criterion for every living thing in accordance to the universal cell theory.

- Inability to self-replicate i.e. reproduce on their own without a living host.

What organelle is missing from the red blood cells?
taurus [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is - they lack a nucleus, DNA, and organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria

Explanation:

Red blood cells are considered as the cells, carry oxygen with the help of hemoglobin protein present in it to the various parts of the body from the lungs and carry CO2 back to the lungs.

These cells are different from the normal cell as they do not participate in the protein synthesis due to the fact that they lack various cell organelle and cell components required. Nucleus and DNA are major components or organelle missing from these cells. In addition to these two, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria also missing from RBCs.

The idea that, when life originated on earth, a macromolecule other than dna served the role of information storage and that thi
svet-max [94.6K]

The RNA world hypothesis states that the earlier life-forms had relied only on RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) for the purpose of catalyzing the chemical reactions, and storing the genetic information. This hypothesis was proposed by Leslie Orgel, Carl Woese, and Francis Crick.

This hypothesis states that long before the living forms evolved to use DNA as the genetic storage material, the RNA molecules served the purpose of both storing the genetic information and carrying out catalysis, but because of its instability, DNA evolved.

Hence, the answer is RNA world hypothesis.
