Viruses are microscopic organisms that have characteristics of both living and non-living. A virus consists of a strand of DNA or RNA covered by a protein coat. This presence of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and Protein suggests that viruses are alive. In addition, they can also respond to their environment in a limited manner inside the host cell.
