Choose the correct the correct answer Viral particicles contain both nucleic acid and protein and can replicate inside of a host cell. Technically, this constitutes a "self -replicating molecular assemblage" which is also one way to define life. Therefore, one can conclude that a. Viruses are not living because they don't breathe oxygen b.Viruses are living c.Viruses are not living because they cannot think d. Viruses are not living because this formationis a simple repetitive process without the ability to respond to the environment

Virus

Viruses are infectious microscopic agents that can only reproduce in live cells of animals, plants, or microbes and are smaller than bacteria. Vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, protists, and fungi are among their many hosts. Viruses are unable to multiply on their own due to the lack of necessary cellular machinery, but they can guide the cell machinery of a host to make additional viruses by infection. The virus enters and attaches to a particular host cell, injects its genetic material, and reproduces by using the host’s genetic material. Viruses cause infection by taking entry into the host cell and using the host cell’s enzymes and raw materials to multiply.
