The two cells formed after DNA copying are similar but not identical. Justify the statement with reasons.

After Mitosis (that is after DNA Copying or DNA Replication) both parent and daughter cells have same DNA content. Thus both are similar. Daughter cell is similar to parent cell.
But when it comes to identity, there are different things that need to be considered such as if we are referring to identity in terms of functions, or in terms of shape, size or evolution.
For example, if we are looking at identity of stem cells, then there are chances that daughter cell may undergo different growth and proliferation such as may express different proteins in cell wall. In this case, cells are similar but not identical.
It is also possible that daughter cell is adjacent to totally different cells of set and those adjacent cells have different function and different proteins. Due to this, daughter cell may act differently. Again in this case, Daughter and parent cells are similar but not identical.
