True or false? Viruses probably arose before cells has evolved?

Answer 1

false, viruses have things that recognize cells, so they must have evolved after

Answer 2

You know that is close to a creation question as I do not think science really knows

Some scientists believe that viruses evolved out of cells, gradually losing so much of their genetic information that they became dependent on other cells for their reproduction, or alternatively that they arose from bits of genetic material within the cell that acquired a life of their own. Other scientists believe that viruses originated and evolved along with the most primitive forms of life, the simple molecules that gained self-replicating abilities. Some of these took the form of cells - others evolved into the viruses which parasitized those same cells.

Answer 3

Viruses are called viruses since they get a host cell so that they can reproduce.

Answer 4

False.

Answer 5

Viruses are pieces of DNA...essentially strings of amino acids. Cells are much more complex structures made of countless pieces of aminoi acids and myriads of other organics. Certainly the more complex form came after the simpler....unless of course you believe in religious myths.

Answer 6

viruses evolved later because they needed a host first. notice, as the population of people increase, the number of diseases increase.

Answer 7

false, viruses do not have the means to replicate by themselves, they need to hijack a cell and use its equipment to replicate their dna/rna, therefore without a cell a virus would not be able to reproduce

Answer 8

false
