Which two characteristics of living things do viruses exhibit? They have genetic material. They increase in size over time. They are made up of a single cell. They eliminate waste. They reproduce.

The correct two options includes:

- They have genetic material. And

- They reproduce

Explanation:

A virus is a type of microorganism that contains a single genetic material in its core which is surrounded by a protein coat.

One of the characteristics of living things is reproduction during which genetic materials are being transferred to offsprings.

A complete virus particle, known as a virion, consists of nucleic acid

(GENETIC MATERIAL) surrounded by a protective coat of protein called a capsid. They depend on a host to REPRODUCE. After gaining entrance into a host body cells through attachment, they use the machinery and metabolism of a host cell to produce multiple copies of themselves. The host cell is then forced to rapidly produce thousands of identical copies of the original virus.

answer; the above answer to the above statement is (true)

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
