Viruses resemble living things because they: _____________?
Correct answer: C. Reproduce
- A. Circulate
- B. Move
- C. Reproduce
- D. Are crystalline
Explanation
Viruses resemble living organisms because they can reproduce inside a suitable host cell using the host's machinery. They are not independently cellular and cannot reproduce on their own outside a host. Students may choose crystallization because viruses can form crystals, but crystallization is a non-living characteristic rather than evidence of life.
