Are viruses alive? the scientific debate continues. viruses exhibit some characteristics of life, but others are missing.
the most obvious reason why scientists still refer to viruses as non-living is that they
a) do not change over time.
b) do not contain any genetic material.
c) are much smaller than anything alive.
eliminate
d) are not composed of one or more cells.

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

really dont know just need some points
