reproduce

1) Reproduce

2) Tumors

Sure! I'd be happy to help you with these questions.

1. The trait that viruses share with living things is the ability to:
To answer this question, let's review the options:
a. adapt: Viruses can adapt to their surroundings, but this is not the specific trait being asked.
b. use food: Viruses do not use food in the same way living organisms do.
c. respond: Viruses cannot respond to stimuli like living organisms can.
d. reproduce: The correct answer is d. reproduce. Like living organisms, viruses have the ability to reproduce, but they require a host cell to do so.

2. Some viruses cause the host cell to reproduce both itself and the virus. Groups of these cells become:
To answer this question, let's review the options:
a. polio: Polio is a specific viral infection, but it does not represent the groups of cells formed by virus-induced cell reproduction.
b. tumors: The correct answer is b. tumors. Some viruses can cause uncontrolled cell division, leading to the formation of tumors in the host organism.
c. mumps: Mumps is a specific viral infection, but it does not represent the groups of cells formed by virus-induced cell reproduction.
d. rabies: Rabies is a specific viral infection, but it does not represent the groups of cells formed by virus-induced cell reproduction.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
