Question

A virus mutates, and therefore it has which of the following traits of living things?
A: it evolves
B: it uses energy
C: it grows and develops
D: it is made of cells

Answer 1

A virus mutating demonstrates the trait of living things that it **evolves** (A). While viruses can evolve over time through mutations, they do not use energy in the same way living organisms do, nor do they grow and develop in the traditional sense, and they are not made of cells.
