Activity 7.2 — Budding in Yeast
NCERT Activity 7.2: Observe budding in yeast under a microscope. Watch a small bud form on the parent cell, grow, receive a nucleus, and detach as a new cell.
How To Perform
1
Observe Yeast Cell
View the parent yeast cell — oval shape, nucleus, vacuole.
2
Bud Formation
A small outgrowth (bud) appears on the parent cell surface.
3
Bud Growth
The bud grows larger while still attached to the parent.
4
Nuclear Division
The nucleus divides — one copy moves into the bud.
5
Bud Detaches
The bud pinches off as a new cell. Parent remains intact!
⚠️ Safety Notes
- •Handle microscope slides carefully.
- •Yeast cultures should be disposed of properly after observation.
