Are viruses alive? the scientific debate continues. viruses exhibit some characteristics of life, but others are missing.

the most obvious reason why scientists still refer to viruses as non-living is that they
do not change over time.

a) do not change over time.

b) do not contain any genetic material.

c) are much smaller than anything alive.

d) are not composed of one or more cells

I believe the correct response would be D. Are not composed of one or more cells.

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
