This cell is most likely **a plant cell in the process of cytokinesis**.
In plant cells, during cytokinesis, a cell plate forms across the middle of the cell to eventually develop into a new cell wall, whereas in animal cells, the process involves cleavage furrow formation and does not involve a cell plate. The presence of nuclei forming on either side of the cell plate also indicates that the cell is in the final stages of division.
