Activity 7.1 — Binary Fission in Amoeba
NCERT Activity 7.1: Observe binary fission in Amoeba under a microscope. Watch how a single parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
How To Perform
1
Observe Parent Amoeba
View the parent Amoeba — its shape, nucleus, and pseudopodia.
2
Nuclear Division
Watch the nucleus elongate and divide into two (karyokinesis).
3
Cytoplasmic Division
See the cytoplasm pinch inward and split (cytokinesis).
4
Daughter Cells
Two identical daughter Amoebae are formed — the parent no longer exists.
⚠️ Safety Notes
