The Meаsles virus is аn RNA virus thаt infects cells in the respiratоry tract and then spreads thrоughоut the body. It attaches to receptors on the surface of host cells using specialized proteins, allowing it to enter. Once inside a cell, the Measles virus hijacks the cellular functions and effectively turn the cell into a virus producing factory, with the synthesis of viral genome and proteins allowing virus particles to assemble and exit the cell. New virus particles assemble and are released to infect more cells, often causing fever, rash, and immune suppression. This overall process is representative of what viruses in general accomplish when infecting cells. Based on this information and your understanding of the definition of life, are viruses alive? Please explain. Include the following in your answer: Define the characteristics of life as discussed in this course Identify which characteristics (if any) apply to viruses Identify which characteristics (if any) do not apply to viruses Explain your rationale for why viruses are or are not alive using Measles as an example Your answer should be a paragraph of at least 4–5 sentences. Note that there is not a single correct answer to this question—the goal is to demonstrate your understanding of viruses and the definition of life.
