Binary Fission in Amoeba & Budding in Yeast

Biology Hard

Aim

To study binary fission in Amoeba and budding in yeast with the help of prepared slides.

Materials Required

Prepared slides of Amoeba (showing binary fission stages)
Prepared slides of Yeast (showing budding stages)
Compound microscope
Lens cleaning paper

Procedure

Place prepared slide of Amoeba under microscope.
Focus at low power (100x) then high power (400x).
Identify different stages of binary fission.
Draw labeled diagrams.
Repeat with yeast slide for budding.
Compare binary fission and budding.

Precautions

Handle slides carefully.
Clean lens before use.
Start with low power magnification.
Do not touch lens with fingers.

Stage 1: Parent Amoeba

Irregular blob shape with nucleus, pseudopodia, cell membrane, and cytoplasm.

Result

We observed the stages of binary fission in Amoeba (parent cell divides into two equal daughter cells) and budding in yeast (bud grows on parent cell and eventually separates as a new individual). Both are forms of asexual reproduction.
