    Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single- or double-stranded. The entire infectious virus particle, which is called a virion, consists of the nucleic acid and an outer shell of protein. The simplest viruses contain only enough RNA or DNA to encode four proteins. The most…

    Viruses are tiny particles of DNA that have the potential to make people and animals extremely sick. It is ironic that viruses are very powerful, yet cannot reproduce by itself. They have various shapes, including rod-like, spherical, and phage. They generally have a similar structure: a protein coat called a capsid, a small amount of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) that is located within the capsid. Important characteristics include: not living and no respiration. They can only reproduce within a host through the lytic cycle where the virus attacks the host, injects it its nucleic acid into the host, and then spreads throughout the host. They systematically infect the person or animal. Widely known viruses include HIV and Hepatitis B.…

    One of these arguments involve a state known as a virion. A virion is a dormant state that the virus is in when there are no cells around to utilize. During this state, the virion does not grow or reproduce, but remains in equilibrium until their is a cell that it can infect. While many use this as a reason for why viruses are nonliving, I would say just the opposite. The fact that viruses become dormant virions when there are no cells nearby demonstrates an ability to recognize conditions which allow them to reproduce and grow so that they can take advantage of them. The second argument involves a virus’s metabolic processes. Viruses are unable to metabolize on their own and instead use the mitochondria of cells to do it for them. The weakness of this argument lies in the cells, not the viruses. When examining the organelles of cells, microbiologists have discovered that the mitochondria contain their own set of genetic DNA. This has been explained using the concept of coevolution. In this process, two organisms respond to one another's strength and weaknesses in order to further their ability to survive and reproduce. It is theorized that mitochondria were originally separate organisms that evolved with cells in order to benefit each other. The mitochondria produce energy for the cell and the cell reproduces itself and the mitochondria. This concept can also be applied to viruses, but in terms of a parasitic relationship. Viruses evolved without the ability to metabolize because, as long as there are cells, it is not necessary for their…
