Yes, it is possible. In fact I read a book by Roger Penrose that talked about how there are carbon clusters how in space that could contain life forms. It also talked about how viruses could enter through the atmosphere through a trajectory that would approach at a tangent. Life has been discovered in areas of extreme heat and extreme cold.

I assume you mean natural life like plants and trees, and not just a space station built on an asteroid like startrek...If the asteroid was big enough, ie: planet sized and has a strong enough gravity to pull an atmosphere, then life could exist on it. Alternatively if there was some form of life that didn't need to breath, then it could like anywhere.

I guess it's possible, but not very likely. Asteroids lack an atmosphere, so if an organism is to live on one, i would need to be able to withstand the extreme cold/ hot temp of space, lack of oxygen, and practically be able to live off of the materials that compose an asteroid.

Not as we know it with no nutrients, no atmosphere and temperature extremes.

No, there is no atmosphere. Nothing can live where there is no atmosphere.
