Answer 9

ok thanks :-)

Answer 10

B would be the correct answer, but viruses are not alive. They only have genetic information.

Answer 11

Dang, it seems like both B and C are correct...
I would say C as the best bet because one of the characteristics of living things is that the reproduce (replicate).

Answer 12

The virus itself doesn't replicate. It gets into host cell and commands it to replicate with virus inside. Killing the cell and releasing more virus.

Answer 13

Yeah, but that is the act of producing more if itself, which is essentially the basis of replication.

Answer 14

Actually @Gabebro13 is correct !
Viruses don't replicate. They lack the machinery for it. Host cells replicate them. So the correct option is B

Answer 15

The last part of C says that It replicates in a host and this point was used to support the idea that viruses are not living organisms because they cannot reproduce on their own. C is correct but its a bit contradicting.
