The organisms are known as viruses exhibit traits from both living and non-living entities. The genetic material of the virus is made up of both DNA and RNA.

The characteristics that viruses exhibit are A defined boundary and an outer capsule layer are features of viruses. Only the host cells are used by the virus for energy. They exhibit growth and development and proliferate, but exclusively within the host cells. They lack cytoplasm and other cellular organelles because they are acellular. They require the metabolic apparatus of the host cell to proliferate because they have no independent metabolism. To put it another way, viruses do not multiply and grow. Instead, fresh viral parts are created and put together inside the infected host cell.

Viruses do not exhibit certain characteristics, including a virus is a unicellular animal, meaning it only has one cell. The internal structure of a virus is absent. If existing outside the host environment, viruses do not exhibit growth, development, or energy use. Viruses do not get rid of the trash.
