What does “Viruses” actually mean in Biological Classification, and why does it matter for NEET?
acellular particles of a nucleic acid core in a protein coat that can only reproduce inside a host cell.
In simple words: acellular particles of a nucleic acid core in a protein coat that can only reproduce inside a host cell. Getting Viruses clear matters because NEET questions on Biological Classification usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Viruses
Common mistake
placing viruses inside the five kingdoms.
Memory tip
viruses are non-cellular, so they sit outside the five-kingdom scheme.
