Identifying Questions and Hypotheses

The study I have found asks the question: Are viruses alive? 
The hypothesis of the study is: that viruses are living entities that share a long evolutionary history with cells.
This study offers offers the a reliable method that traces viral evolution back in time when neither viruses nor cells existed in the forms recognized today, the researches say.

Prior Knowledge: Viruses can be difficult to classify. I did not know much about viruses but I did know, that they are an invective molecule which consists of nucleic acid, and is too small to be seen microscopy, and is able to to multiply within the living cells of the host.
