I have to agree with Fluxcap if you were asking in relation to a school course. Unless you have a progressive teacher, stick to the book in public. In private, investigate all that you can with an open mind. Although extraterrestrial life is not likely to be encountered within our lifetimes, I'm willing to bet that it won't be based upon DNA when it turns up. That would just be too much of a coincidence.Renge Ishyo said:Could be so, but it's probably just included because at this point having genes is a common link between all living things.

The five characteristics of life are organization, energy use, response to stimuli, reproduction, and growth and development.
Organization refers to the complex arrangement of structures and processes that make up a living organism. This includes cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems that work together to carry out essential functions.
Living organisms use energy to carry out essential functions such as metabolism, movement, and growth. This energy is obtained through the consumption of food or the process of photosynthesis in plants.
Response to stimuli is the ability of living organisms to detect and respond to changes in their environment. This can include physical, chemical, or biological stimuli and is essential for survival.
Reproduction is the process by which living organisms produce offspring. This can occur through sexual or asexual reproduction and is necessary for the continuation of a species.
