Things that are classified by biologists
Viruses (are not living organisms!)
Viruses are grouped according to the genetic (replicating) material they contain (deoxyribosenucleic acid or ribosenucleic acid) and they can have a protein coat surrounding that. Others can have a lipid layer surrounding the protein coat. Examples: - Tobacco Mosaic Virus and Chickenpox.
They can come in many shapes from simple spheres to the more complex coliphage.
