"The drones in the bee colony develop from unfertilized eggs and only have haploid chromosomes. However, the sperm cells of the drones do not have 0.5 times the chromosomes. They go through a special 'pseudomeiosis' so they still have haploid chromosomes."

Teacher Helen held a book and walked slowly toward the students below on high heels.

"The only role of drones in a bee colony is to mate. Drones that have mated will die immediately."

Moving the book away from her face, a smile appeared on her lips.

"This drone, in a sense, is also a parasite."

As she spoke, she glanced in Peter's direction.

Peter just listened to the beautiful teacher's lecture without showing any expression on his face.

"But that's not the focus of our course today. What we're going to learn is about phages."

She walked to Peter, stopped, and added: "The process of phages parasitizing bacteria."

"A bacteriophage is just a ball of genetic material wrapped in a protein shell. It lacks the materials and tools to replicate itself, but it can inject its own DNA into bacteria and then integrate its own DNA into the bacterial DNA."

Explaining the process of phage parasitism, Helen paused and asked, "Then will the bacteria sit still and wait to die?"

"No, it will use the CRISP/Cas system to direct the DNA cutting enzyme to remove the virus."

"So will it be successful?"

An activist asked Helen.

"This requires you to think about it."

Helen lowered her head and looked at Peter, "Classmate Parker, can you tell me what you think?"

Peter was a little stunned when his name was called.

Although I knew something was wrong with the woman in front of me, I didn't expect that the other party would be so direct.

"No, I don't know."

Peter refused outright.

This woman knows the secret of the alien embryo on her chest?

Comparing the alien embryo on his chest to a drone or a phage?

What the other party just said is definitely not a coincidence.

"Hmm, maybe you can listen to the class carefully, Parker, instead of doing your own thing down there."

Helen stretched out her hand and passed it in front of the notebook on his desk.

Her fingers lightly traced the paper, and Peter could even feel the lingering fragrance between her fingers, fleetingly.

Peter's notebook was a mess with scribblings.

Basically, only he can understand these dense things.

Its contents are all information related to aliens from his past life memories.

"I like taking notes, but the way I record them is incomprehensible to most people."

Peter closed the notebook without blushing or heart beating.

This woman also knew his name, which made him even more wary.

"Maybe, next time you can come to the office and explain to me your special recording method? I'm very interested."

The charm of Helen's smile made all the students in the class smile.

"Sorry, can't."

Peter refused without hesitation.

He became increasingly wary of women.

At the same time, the alien embryo on the chest also moved strangely.

The heart beats faster, and there are not one heart but two.

The pounding heart increased the burden on the body, and feelings of vomiting and dizziness swept through the body.

And the pain in the body gradually worsened.

The violence and desire to kill that came with the previous changes in his body did not appear at this time.

What replaced it was a strange feeling.

It seemed to be a different kind of physiological impulse.

Holding the pen, he forced himself to suppress the physical and mental torture, trying not to show any abnormality in himself.

Seemingly not noticing Peter's physical condition, Teacher Helen shook her head and said regretfully: "That's such a pity."

She looked deeply at Peter and walked towards the podium on high heels.

"Whether it's a drone or a phage, they have only one parasitic purpose, and that is - reproduction!"

Her voice was filled with a certain lazy temperament, "Drones choose to die on their own, phages inject their DNA into bacteria, and fungi parasitize humans. Their ultimate goal is to reproduce. One reproduces two, and they continue to The population expands.”

"This is a physiological manifestation, and it is also the only way to evolve in nature."

Peter raised his head and stared at the other person's back.

The metal pen in his hand was almost broken by his fingers.

Where did this woman run away from?

After the biology class ended, Gwen sat next to Peter again.

"It seems like all the boys are attracted to her."

Gwen felt that the atmosphere in the class was a little strange.

"It looks like Ms. Helen is like the sweetheart of the sorority and everyone is smitten with her."

Peter didn't quite understand Gwen's strange metaphor, "Sweetie?"

"Yes, she is very popular. As long as she says 'frog', those willful and undisciplined students will laugh very cooperatively."

Perhaps because she was afraid that Peter would misunderstand her pettiness, Gwen quickly explained, "I mean she doesn't look like a teacher."

"You have to understand a line in biology, Gwen."

Peter pushed the biology book towards her.

The title on the opened book caught her eye - "Biological Diversity."

When Gwen saw this sentence, the corners of her mouth immediately curled up.

But she quickly suppressed her urge to laugh.

If I laugh like this, I will seem very rude.

"Well, Peter, you are still good at telling jokes."

Peter was speechless when he heard Gwen say this.

Is this a joke?

Looking at the other person's expression of suppressing a smile, he suddenly found that Gwen was very attractive.

He covered his chest and felt the strangeness of his body.

He fell into deep thought.

No, Gwen has never changed.

It's just that he is a little abnormal today.

After school in the afternoon, he found a reason to separate from Gwen and walked towards New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Although he felt threatened by this woman with a strange origin.

But the most important thing is to check the changes of the alien embryo.

The most important purpose of parasitism is indeed reproduction.

The purpose of the face hugger parasitizing in his body is to reproduce.

But this sentence is not completely right.

It has not broken out of the chest now, which means that it is not just using itself as a tool for reproduction.

If I am now one with the alien, how is its reproduction performance?

In the subway, Peter looked through the glass at the scenery flashing outside.

Is reproductive performance the physical impulse towards the opposite sex that he shows?

He lowered his head, stretched out his hand, covered his chest, and felt the two heartbeats inside.

Or does having sex with the opposite sex produce reproduction?

He didn't expect that the two words "alien" and "opposite sex" could be connected together.
