Q: Which of the following is a characteristic of viruses?
Solution:

Step 2: Learn the term 'obligate intracellular parasite.' This means that viruses must enter a host cell to survive and reproduce.
Step 3: Recognize that viruses cannot reproduce on their own. They need a host cell to make copies of themselves.
Step 4: Conclude that a key characteristic of viruses is that they rely on host cells for their reproduction.
