Objective
To study (a) binary fission Amoeba, and (b) Budding in Yeast and Hydra with the help of prepared slides.

Materials Required:

Compound microscope, Permanent slides of Binary fission in Amoeba and Budding in Yeast and Hydra.

Procedure:

1. Select the slide of binary fission in Amoeba and budding in yeast and Hydra.
2. Set-up a compound microscope. While looking through the eye piece, adjust the mirror the diaphragm so
that microscope is illuminated.
3. Now, place the slide on stage and focus at low power. Observe it.
4. Without removing the slide, now change the focus to high power. observe it.

Observations

(i) Binary fission in Amoeba

● This is a type of asexual reproduction in which two daughter cells are formed from a single
parent.
● Parent cell becomes elongated.
● Nucleus divides amitotically first and then cytoplasm divides.
● At the point of fission constriction appears and deepens to divide cell into two daughter cells.

(ii) Budding in Yeast and Hydra

● In this type of asexual reproduction,a small outgrowth arises from the parent body called bud.
● Nucleus divides mitotically to form daughter nuclei, of which one passes into the bud.
● The bud now detaches from the parent body and grown independently as a new individual.

Result
The slides show binary fission in Amoeba and budding in yeast and hydra.
