The way a cell looks and behaves depends on which genes are expressed. This means that if a certain set of genes are being transcribed and translated, the cell taken on a certain role (for example an epithelial cell).
If a different set of genes are being expressed, the cell takes on a different role (like a brain cell for example)
It is important to remember that these sets of genes that are being expressed do not change over time. This means an epithelial cell can only give rise to epithelial daughter cells and not a different cell type

Why are all cells produced by mitosis exactly alike?
Becuase the DNA is replicated, so the two cells produced by mitosis are clones of eachother!
