Android Studio AVD Emulator Chrome and Play Store missing

I am making my first developer steps on Android.

Trying my first test app on an Android Virtual Device (AVD), I noticed that the device has almost no software on it, there is no Play Store and no Chrome Browser. See Screenshot. I checked all settings up and down but found no way to tweak the basic OS software load. I tried several phone models and API levels, but had no luck.

How can I create a device providing software support similar to a physical device, I do specifically need an Internet browser.

Google Play System Images

When creating the emulator, you need to select and create a system image that contains the playstore.
