🧰
Apparatus
- Microscope
- Prepared slides: Amoeba, Hydra, Rhizopus
- Yeast culture
- Sugar solution
- Drawing materials
🧪
Procedure
- Observe Amoeba slide — identify the constriction in binary fission.
- Observe Hydra slide — identify outgrowth/bud.
- Observe Rhizopus slide — identify sporangium with spores.
- Prepare wet mount of yeast in sugar solution — observe budding cells.
- Draw and label each organism showing the mode of reproduction.
