English: Virus.
VirologyViruses are half living organisms, consisting of DNA or RNA and an envelope. They live on hosts, parasiting cells to make them reproductive for the virus. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own.
Viruses are difficult to place ion an taxonomy. they can parasite on all creatures from Bacterai to
Plants and
Animals.
Here they are treated as part of the Kingdom of
Bacteria. The reason for that is that viruses have developed together with the
Bacteria, long before the other
Kingdoms originated.
They are placed in
Series 7, the
Uranium series. This is dome because of their parasiting quality.
