Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Viruses are composed of genetic material (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a protein coat called a capsid. They are not considered living organisms, as they cannot replicate on their own and require a host cell to reproduce. Bacteria, parasites, fungi, and helminths are all living organisms composed of cells with their own genetic material and various structures.
