I'm afraid I don't see how your two-phase explanation answers the question. A cell is alive whether or not it's infected with a virus. The addition of virus particles doesn't make it any more or less alive (until the virus kills the cell). That doesn't really say anything about whether the virus is alive. You could just as well say that salt is not alive, but a cell containing salt is alive, so salt is a two-phase living organism. Which makes this concept far too broad to be a definition of what is alive, in my opinion.
@umblapag7 жыл бұрын
salt wouldn't be alive because it does not reproduce or evolve. when one says that a cell is alive, this presupposes that it has genetic material allowing it to evolve and reproduce. a virus infected cell enables a virus to do just that.
@troyjesse78334 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. Couldn't one argue that in the intracellular phase that the virus STILL isn't living, as it is the CELL that is providing all the necessary machinery and components for viral replication? The virus is essentially a piece of genetic material, and we certainly don't argue that DNA or RNA are alive just because they are found inside a cell. In the long run, it is really not an important question - viruses are important whether or not they are alive.
@ericlind65814 жыл бұрын
Umbert Lapagoss Perhaps salt isn’t the ideal example but his point is very valid. Just because it piggybacks onto something ALREADY living doesn’t mean it “becomes” alive cause many of the properties that define “life” are inherent to the cell itself and NOT the physical virus. the question of a virus infected cell being alive is NOT the same question as a Virus being alive.

This is an easy to understand introduction to this famous question, nicely done! I lean more toward the opinion offered by one of my former professors: Life is a term for poets and philosophers, not scientists. The philosophical question is a fun one, but from a scientific point of view maybe we're better off focusing on the chemistry and evolution of replicators instead of trying to distill some list of traits that will cover the whole bunch. And viruses are certainly evolving replicators that undergo biological chemistry…

Speaking as a professional armchair biologist I completely disagree, or rather I think the parameters for what constitutes "life" are arbitrary. Whether or not it has a cell, whether or not it makes energy, whether or not it grows, the means through which the virus produces more of itself or the means (or lack thereof) it has to interact with its environment are irrelevant as far as I'm concerned, the only thing that matters to me is can it reproduce and can it evolve, and the answer to those are yes, the fact that its method of doing so is as an obligate intercellular parasite is again, irrelevant. To my mind viruses are some of the simplest forms of life possible, and I spit on any trained professional who's studied the topic for years who disagrees with me. So there!

Life is a symphony, a party, a dance of different various molecules. A virus is alone, it doesn't do what cells do, it doesn't produce what cells produce. If you take a step back and try to realise, if you could hear the molecules of cells, a virus doesn't create this symphony or dance. Also cells have a baby stage and a mature stage, all living things do, living things breathe or exchange, inhale, exhale, or excreate, living things are uniquely reliant on water, require water in one way or another. Maybe start there. Instead of using linear thinking and what is only visible to define life.

I understand the debate and also this type of explanation. To me, this explanation seems like an analogy for a spore/seed-plant mechanism; a seed in itself is not alive, but with the right conditions it becomes alive. Of course, there are more questions; for example, if the cell eventually dies, then, why the mechanism? Reading other explanations, I thought about the virus as a defense mechanism or a poisonous protein; could these apply?
