Final answer:

Viruses demonstrate the traits of having genetic material and being able to evolve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Viruses exhibit two important traits of living organisms: they have genetic material and they can evolve. The genetic material of a virus can mutate, resulting in changes in its traits. While viruses do not have cells and cannot reproduce on their own, they depend on a host cell to synthesize proteins and replicate themselves.
