"Show the characteristics of life" is NOT a characteristic of viruses.

Explanation: viruses have genetic material, lack cellular structure, and depend on host cells to replicate, but they do not exhibit all the characteristics of life (e.g., they cannot carry out metabolism or reproduce independently).
