On the basis of characters, such as non-cellular organization, inactivity outside the host organism, lack of respiration and cellular metabolism, these are caused non-living. Moreover, similar to non-living objects viruses can be crystallized and precipitated. Living Feature Similar to living beings, they possess genetic material (DNA or RNA), property of mutation, irritability, can grow and multiply inside the host cell. They are intracellular obligate parasites and attack specific hosts. Thus, keeping these points in mind, it is quite difficult to ascertain whether viruses are living or non-living.
