Viruses may be defined as the organism that contain DNA and RNA as their genetic material. Viruses are smaller than bacteria and can affect the different forms of life.
Viruses are non-living as well as acellular organism because they cannot perform the metabolic process that are performed by the living organism. They acts as non - living organism as they do not reproduce, show growth and metabolism outside the host environment. They only shows growth and reproduction once they enter inside the host organism.
