How binary fission take place in amoeba???

In this process of asexual reproduction, the parent organism divides into two halves, each half forming an independent daughter organism.
In binary fission the amoeba consists of one parent which forms the 2 daughter cells. First, the amoeba cell undergoes nuclear division and replicates into two nuclei. The two nuclei divide and move to opposite directions in the parent cell. The cell then produces proteins and nutrients in preparation for binary fission. In the stage of binary fission, the cell divides and forms 2 daughter cells. This process generally occurs when environmental conditions are most favourable. That is, when there is enough food, water, and a favourable temperature.
 Simple Binary Fission (Irregular Binary Fission):
It can occur through any plane, e.g., Amoeba.
