Solution
Viruses do not show characteristics of life outside the living cells as they lack membrane.
Explanation:
Viruses lack cellular organization and a plasma membrane, and depend on a living cell’s machinery to reproduce. They contain genetic material—DNA or RNA—so options stating they lack both, or have RNA only, are incorrect.
