Reproduction in Microorganisms

Amoeba is a protozoa that lives in water and has an irregular shape.

In the centre of the Amoeba dense nucleus is seen.

In the second stage, Amoeba shows the nucleus division, i.e., karyokinesis.

In the third stage, we can see the cell body division, i.e., cytokinesis.

In the fourth stage, two daughter cells of Amoeba are formed.

Yeast is oval or spherical.

It is a unicellular organism.

In the second stage, yeast shows a small growth on it called ‘bud’.

In the third stage, yeast shows that in some situations many such chains of buds are seen on the parent cell. This process is called ‘budding’.

On maturity the buds get separated from the parent cell to form and grow’ as a new organism. This process is called budding.

Bulblike projections called buds arise from the cell membrane of the parent body. 

Mature hydra cells are larger and elongated in shape and have finger-like projections. 

The nucleus of the parent cell divides and one of the daughter nuclei passes into the bud. 

Finally, the bud is separated from the parent body into a new individual.
