Core genetic metrial rna or dne that can be single stranded or double stranded.capsid this is a protective coat that suronds the cure this is made with protein They do not grow and or develop. The only way a virus can reproduce itself is to insert its DNA into the living cells of other organisms. This DNA then takes over the cell's machinery and reproduces the virus inside the cell. 2) Movement
3) Responsiveness
4) Metabolism
5) Digestion
6) Excretion
7) Reproduction
8) Growth

Viruses are not considered living because viruses are not made of cells, they rely solely on a host for all movement from place to place, they have no need to take in nourishment so therefore they do not digest or excrete. They do not grow and or develop. The only way a virus can reproduce itself is to insert its DNA into the living cells of other organisms. This DNA then takes over the cell's machinery and reproduces the virus inside the cell. When the cell becomes too full of "baby" viruses, it ruptures, spilling all the "baby" viruses into the surrounding tissue where they then attack other cells and continue the cycle
