The correct table that compares a virus and a living organism is table A.
Characteristic Virus Living Organism
Composition genetic material and proteins cells
Reproduction through a host cell through cell division
Genetic material DNA or RNA DNA or RNA
Organelles does not contain organelles contains organelles
Crystallization cannot survive can survive
The correct table that compares a virus and a living organism is table C.
To arrive at this conclusion, we need to compare the characteristics of both a virus and a living organism.
1. Composition: The virus is composed of genetic material and proteins, whereas a living organism is composed of cells. This is correctly represented in table C.
2. Reproduction: Viruses reproduce through a host cell, while living organisms reproduce through cell division. This is correctly represented in table C.
3. Genetic Material: Both viruses and living organisms possess DNA or RNA. This is correctly represented in table C.
4. Organelles: Viruses do not contain organelles, whereas living organisms contain organelles. This is correctly represented in table C.
5. Crystallization: Viruses cannot survive crystallization, but living organisms can. This is correctly represented in table C.
From these comparisons, we can see that table C accurately represents the differences between a virus and a living organism.
