Answer: they cannot reproduce on their own.

Explanation:

Viruses are infectious ultramicroscopic particles formed by nucleic acid (s), DNA and/or RNA, surrounded by a protein envelope, which is sometimes coated with a lipid membrane called capsid. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have both types of nucleic acids to metabolize and reproduce.

Viruses do not replicate independently of cells, and in the extracellular environment, they are characterized by a mature infectious form, the virion, a complete, fully developed viral particle. The human being lives with the viruses since birth, but  some situations, professions, social circumstances and certain  Personal habits increase the likelihood of the individual  contact certain types of viruses.  Poor hygiene and coexistence in crowded places can be a constant source of viral infections, especially due to organisms  disseminated through the respiratory and fecal-oral routes.

Describe the process of mitosis and meiosis.​
____ [38]

Answer:

Mitosis:

Mitosis has 4 stages total and produces 2 diploid daughter cells. The purpose of mitosis is for cellular proliferation. Since we only get 2 daughter cells, the chromosome number remains the same and generic variation doesn't occur.

Meiosis:

Meiosis has 8 stages total and produces 4 haploid daughter cells. In the shortest nutshell, meiosis is mitosis but twice. The purpose of meiosis is sexual reproduction. Since we get 4 daughter cells, the chromosome number is halved and generic variation does occur.
