Study of Binary Fission in amoeba and Budding in Hydra Practical Answer Solutions

Standard 10th Science Biology Experiment 2 Study of Binary Fission in amoeba and Budding in Hydra Practical Answer Solutions.

Aim :

To study (1) Binary fission in Amoeba and (2) Budding in Hydra with the help of permanent slides.

Requirements :

Slides of binary fission in Amoeba and budding in Hydra, compound microscope.

Procedure :

(1) Observe the slides showing binary fission in Amoeba and budding in Hydra under a compoundmicroscope. (2) Arrange the mirror and the objective lens of the compound microscope.(3) First, adjust the slides under low power objective lens. If needed shift to high power objective lens. Notedown the observations.

1. Binary fission in Amoeba

Diagram : 

Label the different parts in the given diagram. Mother Amoeba Daughter Amoeba Nuclear division

Binary fission in Amoeba

Observations : Strike out the incorrect word :

(1) Binary fission of Amoeba starts with the division of nucleus/cell wall.(2) Binary fission is type of mitotic/meiotic cell division.(3) By binary fission one Amoeba gives rise to two/four daughter Amoebae.

Inference : 

Binary fission and budding are types of asexual reproduction

2. Budding in Hydra

Diagram: Lable the different parts in the given diagram

Observations : Strike out the incorrect word:

(1) During reproduction, outgrowth developed on body of Hydra is called bud / tentacle.

(2) The bud of Hydra is multicellular / unicellular.

(3) Young Hydra remain attached on / detaches from parent Hydra and starts independent life.

Inference : Both binary fission and budding are asexual modes of reproduction.
