Viruses are both living as well as the non-living. They enfold reservoirs of genes. A single nucleotide is the unit of gene. A viral gene creates use of host raw material (non-living elements/ water / organic moieties and so forth.) comprising elements to synthesize organic molecules or macromolecules. Consequently, viruses replicate themselves thus reproduce in the living cells. On the crystallization, they turn into non-living and can stay in this state for years till they enter again in a living host to reproduce. Certain plant viruses are transmitted to progeny by seeds. Viruses develop as any other living being. Thus, now virus names are written in italics like trinomial / binomial names same to scientific name of any other living organism that is, Tobacco mosaicvirus (read as italic).
