A student examining a cell under the microscope noticed the formation
of a cell plate in the midline of the cell and the formation of nuclei at
the poles of the cell. The cell under examination was most likely (1.) an
animal cell in the M phase of the cell cycle (2.) a dividing bacterial cell
(3.) a plant cell undergoing cytokinesis (4.) an animal cell undergoing
cytokinesis (5.) a plant cell in the anaphase stage
of a cell plate in the midline of the cell and the formation of nuclei at
the poles of the cell. The cell under examination was most likely (1.) an
animal cell in the M phase of the cell cycle (2.) a dividing bacterial cell
(3.) a plant cell undergoing cytokinesis (4.) an animal cell undergoing
cytokinesis (5.) a plant cell in the anaphase stage

It is a plant cell undergoing cytokinesis, or 3.
In animal cells, a furrow develops during mitosis which eventually becomes divided into two daughter cells. In plant cells, a cell plate forms due to the need to form two cell walls for the daughter cells. The plate forms before the final stage, or anaphase, and proceeds to continue to divide the plant cell into two daughter cells throughout the process of mitosis.

Due to the presence of a cell wall, cytokinesis in plant cells is significantly different from that in animal cells. Rather than forming a contractile ring, plant cells construct a cell plate in the middle of the cell.
