A particular virus consists of only DNA and proteins. Viruses attach to the surface of a host cell ...

A particular virus consists of only DNA and proteins. Viruses attach to the surface of a host cell and inject the viral DNA into the host. The host cell then copies the viral DNA and makes new viruses. Eventually, the host cell is killed, and the new viruses are released. These new viruses search for new hosts to continue the cycle. Identify and apply at least three characteristics of life to justify whether a virus is a living thing.
