Activity 8.3 NCERT class 10 science, How do Organisms Reproduce
Procedure: The activity asks us to compare two different slides of Amoeba under the microscope.
Observation: We see that amoeba divides with different planes in a separate slide.
Explanation: Amoeba is the simplest unicellular organism. It does not have any shape, complex structure or organs for sexual reproduction. Its nuclear material doubles and the cell simply divides in any plane. We call this process binary fission.
