Cell division occurs in animal cells and plant cells. The illustration below shows an animal cell and a plant cell during the same phase of cell division.
Which of the following best describes this phase of cell division?
A. The cells are completing the growth phase and entering prophase.
B. The chromosomes in each cell have just replicated, and the cells are entering mitosis.
C. Mitosis is complete and the plant cell is forming a cell plate because plants have cell walls.
D. The cells are in metaphase, and the animal cell is drawing inward where chromosomes will line up for separation.
