Explanation:
Because meiosis creates cells that are destined to become gametes (or reproductive cells), this reduction in chromosome number is critical — without it, the union of two gametes during fertilization would result in offspring with twice the normal number of chromosomes.
<span>The lytic cycle is a six-stage cycle. In the first stage, called "penetration", the virus injects its own nucleic acid into ahost cell. In some viruses this genetic material is circularand mimics a bacterial plasmid. The virus hijacks the cell's replication and translation mechanisms, using them to make more viruses.</span>
The thickest layer is the inner core.
