Select one:
a. A virus is composed of cells
b. A virus can reproduce on its own
C. A virus has order
d. None of the above are true X

Answer 1

None of the above are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Viruses are not cells: they are not capable of self-replication and are not considered “alive”. Viruses do not have the ability to replicate their own genes

B. Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own.

C. Most biologists say no. Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
