Electrophilic addition of propene with chlorine?

Hello everyone,
Tomorrow we have a chemistry test on electrophilic addition.
Our teacher gave us exercises to do.
…unfortunately, I’m already failing at these.
Could someone help me solve this?
The task is as follows:

B: Electrophilic addition:

Sketch the electrophilic addition of propene with chlorine in all its steps. Describe the mechanism, noting the important steps. Draw the movement and "attacks" of the electrons.

Additional questions to B: Explain why two different by-products can be formed in electrophilic addition and why one is clearly preferred (Markovnikov rule).

I am grateful for any help!

Finding exactly that would be too easy; you should also be able to transfer it. And yes, the mechanisms always work the same. So if it says electrophilic addition, then Cl2 does exactly the same thing as Br2 does to a propene, butene, or whatever is present.
