Answer 1

B.

It should be primary school 2nd or 3rd grade question... What is your age justifying how come you do not see the answer ????

Answer 2

A is the correct answer here.
Viruses contain genetic code but not defined as living. Their genetic code could be in double stranded DNA, single stranded DNA, single stranded RNA form.

Answer 3

viruses have a genetic code.. they aren't alive

lots of objects move, they aren't alive

crystals and prions can assemble / multiple (i.e reproduce), they aren't alive

lots of things are organised cellularly, like cellphone networks, bee hives, organisations.. they aren't alive.

social evolution, etc are forms of evolution that are not alive. besides, strictly speaking, individuals don't evolve in the biological sense. Evolution is more of a big picture thing that concerns itself with populations and sub groups etc, not individuals.

Answer 4

Movement is not needed for life... I'm not sure that evolution is a necessary condition either.

Answer 5

B&E

B. Movement does not necessarily mean life. Water moves, other non-living things are moved by other forces.

E. Since evolution is a myth, it cannot be a characteristic of life.

Vacinni...intelligence is not necessary for life...libs are alive.

Answer 6

I'd say movement because plants and fungi don't move under their own power, but they most certainly are alive.

Answer 7

B. for even a rock can move in a landslide. I would also add intelligence to the list though.

Answer 8

Movment for sure
