Answer:

Viruses depend on the living organisms to reproduce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viruses do exhibit most of the characteristics of living organisms however, one of the most crucial feature of an organisms is the reproduction is not possible by them without the aid of another host cell which makes them non-living. In general a virus or a virion is defined as the the complex assembly of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids with either a DNA or RNA as genetic material. Another striking feature of virus is there is no temperature regulation.
