Viruses are very small infectious particles composed of a protein coat and a nucleic acid core.They can reproduce within the host cell only by using the biochemical mechinary of the hosts.
Viruses are found to show some specific characteristics studying wchich one can't fix whether viruses are living or non-living.
Some of the characteristics features of Viruses are under mentioned:
1. Viruses are granular and can be observed under electron microscope only.
2.Viruses are host specific.
3.They produce characteristic symptoms on specific hosts.
4. They contain genetic material which may be either DNA or RNA.
5. They are infectious.
6.They are in between living and non-living as they show different characters some of which belongs to living beings and some characters belong to non-living things.
7. Most of the viruses can't be seperated using bacterial filters.
8. They show response to change in humidity and temperature.
