Does a virus respond to the environment.

Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.

Viruses can only thrive and replicate inside the environment of a living cell of other organisms. Viruses adapt to the environment (the cell) they are in by infecting the entire cell. ... The virus can then take over the cell and spread to infect other cells in a similar way. This is how viruses replicate.
